We are so proud of our students for putting their learning into action! 👏🔥 Today, our Teaching as a Profession students, led by Mrs. Ashley Singleton, partnered with our Fire Science students, led by Mr. John Murnane, to deliver fire safety lessons at CHMS. TAP students observed a Fire Science class, collaborated to identify key fire safety concepts, and designed engaging lesson plans and presentations...then took that learning straight to middle school students. This is what real-world learning looks like: collaboration, application, and impact. We love seeing our CTE programs work together to create meaningful experiences for students in our community! 💙🧡 💙🧡 #vhscte #RealSkillsRealFutures #PathwaysToPossibilities #SparkingPathwaysToSuccess #FalconStrong #HCSProud
