The School I work at now is quite creative in their study methodologies and project based lessons, and it's an honor to work at such a school. Unfortunately, the CTE department at the school is in a bit of disarray, particularly the architecture program. Over the past few years the program has changed hands once a year, each time with different teachers focusing on different aspects of architecture, but not really getting into the actual meat of the subject. My goal is to help stop this trend and build up an actual architecture program here to not only include engineering but dive into the real substance of what architects do. Sadly, with only two people here at the school, we're not high on the CTE budget list (which has been hit hard this year), and Hurricane Florence hasn't done the school any favors as well (thankfully we avoided most of the brunt). It's donors like you that help our students succeed!
