Raleigh County CTE wins District Class IV Pinnacle Award
Congratulations to all of our Raleigh County middle schools, high schools, and ACT for winning the Pinnacle Award District Class IV award presented at the CTE Awards Gala at Canaan Valley Resort on September 4, 2024. \
The district received this award based off of being one of two districts in the state in our class size to have the top score of meeting our accountability indicators from last school year’s data.
These indicators include the number of students in high school and middle school who take CTE courses, how many students complete a CTE program, our work-based learning hours, our NOCTI assessment scores, and our percentage of properly endorsed CTE teachers.
We are so proud of Raleigh County CTE. It is a team effort and we could not do it without all of our awesome students and staff.
