BCPS Students Honored During 47th Annual CTE Recognition Ceremony

BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD — More than 130 seniors from across the county were recognized recently by their teachers as exemplary students during the 47th Annual Career and Technical Education Student Recognition Ceremony, which was held online this year and is available for viewing. Each of these students will receive a $100 Anthony G. Marchione Award for Excellence.

Student perspective videos where the kids shared their appreciation recently for teachers, internships and courses that gave them a head start on careers in their fields of interest featured Christine Anyalewechi, Eastern Technical High School; Lucas LaBuff, George Washington Carver Center for Arts and Technology; Ari Montoya, Perry Hall High School; Josue Portillo, Dundalk High School; Hannah Pullifrone, Parkville High School; and Danielle Szikman, Franklin High School.

“The pandemic has allowed our students to develop an even broader set of life skills, including problem solving and adapting to challenges,” Superintendent Dr. Darryl L. Williams. “These skills and knowledge across the subject areas are foundational to CTE success.”

Other speakers included Douglas Handy, director of CTE & Fine Arts; Dr. Michael Grubbs, CTE coordinator; Ken Guttman, chair of the CTE Advisory Council (CTEAC) and a graduate of Loch Raven High School; and Emilie Cherry, director of high school collaboration for CCBC.

The ceremony was hosted by CTEAC in conjunction with the office of career and technical education and in partnership with The Education Foundation of Baltimore County Public Schools.

CTE provides students an opportunity to pursue a sequential technical and academic program of study leading to advancement in a career field. High school CTE programs give students the opportunity to transition smoothly into postsecondary education and to earn college credit and/or industry credentials in a career field of interest.
