The display equipment really helped showcase artwork at the PSD show.” Prevot went on to say that the new equipment will provide students with opportunities to exhibit their creations in a professional and inspiring manner, enriching the artistic atmosphere of school events.

CTE Spotlight – Kaden Clark

CTE Spotlight – Kaden Clark, Pendleton High School

Your Name:  Kaden Clark
Your Title:  Hospitality/Tourism & Foods Teacher

School/District:
Pendleton High School/Pendleton School District

What do you teach?
I teach basic culinary skills to advanced culinary practices, the importance of cultural diversity, the basic principles of opening and running a business, and much more within the hospitality and tourism industry. Students leave my class feeling comfortable in a kitchen setting and having a new-found perspective on cultural differences and their positive effect on the world.

What is your school’s CTE focus for the 23-24 school year?
Our focus is to give students the greatest opportunity for work-based learning practices and advancement in their future careers early on. Our CTE staff is working to offer opportunities many students have never had the chance to participate in before. A huge part of this is having such a great community that is constantly willing to support PHS students and their goals to work in CTE-related fields.

How is CTE work in your school making a difference for students?
The two greatest attributes I believe CTE students are benefiting from are work ethic and confidence. Our programs offer opportunities for students to leave the ever-growing mobile world and work hands-on and face-to-face with other people. I see a growing number of my CTE students willing to meet new people, promote our program, and engage with community partners because they are becoming more confident through CTE coursework. Putting students into the CTE environment we have created has increased their work ethic tenfold. It has been an amazing experience to work side by side with these students on some really cool projects this past year, and I cannot wait to see what they are able to achieve in the future.

What is something people may not know about CTE in schools?
We have some of the most dedicated and hardworking individuals leading these programs and the most caring people I have ever worked alongside. We are dedicated to working with community partners to give students greater opportunities. We are always willing to partner with other CTE programs to give students a chance to learn and engage in CTE-related activities/events. A huge part of our success is due to the amazing CTE staff and Administration who care about the future of their students and CTE.

Pendleton High School CTE Student Spotlight – Tessa Ayers

Name: Tessa Ayers
Grade: Senior

What CTE classes/pathway are you taking?
I have taken Food and Travel 1-4, which is part of the Hospitality and Travel Pathway.

What do you enjoy about your CTE classes at PHS?
They have helped me learn about the culinary industry and the health benefits of the food. Doing the takeout meals for teachers has given me experience in the aspects of managing a business.

How are CTE classes making a difference in your education?
It has helped me learn the value in food so I can eat healthy and eat well. It also has helped me build experience working as a team. After high school, I plan to study sports medicine or nutrition. Food and Travel classes have given me foundational knowledge of food and its values to further my education after high school.

Would you like to share anything else about CTE at PHS?
I recommend trying the CTE program. You learn so many life skills that you can carry over into your life and further your career. Don’t be scared – it’s fun and collaborative. There are lots of opportunities to get volunteering experience to put on your resume and gain real-world experience. Even if you don’t think you’re going to go into the food or nutrition industry, I do recommend doing at least a year of Food and Travel because it helps you learn basic cooking skills.
