Good morning everyone,

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and found a little time to rest, recharge, and enjoy the company of family and friends. As we move into the final stretch of the semester, I’m excited to share the newest edition of the Taylor Career Center Chronicle with you.

This month’s newsletter is packed with updates, celebrations, and a closer look at the incredible work happening across our building. You can view the full edition here: 

In this month’s Chronicle, you’ll find:

• CB’s Café Bake Sale Announcement
  Details on the upcoming bake sale, student involvement, and how the funds will support our programs.
• PBIS Winners
  Congratulations to our students who continue to demonstrate professionalism, safety, excellence, and respect.
• Field Trip Highlights & Photo Gallery
  A look into recent hands-on learning experiences across programs.
• Program Updates & Classroom Spotlights
  See what our Automotive, Welding, Construction, HVAC, Nursing, and other programs have been working on this month—complete with photos.
• Students of the Week & Students of the Month
  Celebrating the achievements, leadership, and hard work happening each day.
• Career Academy Initiative Preview
  An introduction to our upcoming academy model and what families and students can expect as we move toward implementation.

As we approach final exams and the end of the semester, please encourage students to stay organized and take advantage of helpful study habits—breaking study time into shorter sessions, reviewing notes daily, asking questions in class, and getting plenty of rest.

A quick reminder for our CTE students:
To earn a Program Completer Certificate, students must finish both semesters with a C or better. Now is the perfect time to check grades, meet with instructors, and ensure all assignments are submitted.

We are so thankful for such an amazing, supportive community, and for the dedication of our students, staff, and families. Thank you for continuing to partner with us as we help our students grow into skilled, confident, and career-ready young professionals.

Wishing everyone a strong finish to the semester!

Warmly,
Carly Barnard
