Smithville High School's Computer Science CTE Pathway offers students the chance to graduate with college credit or career-ready certifications in computer science and cybersecurity thanks to Ms. Mary Alice Castello and her partnership with Microsoft’s TEALS Program. She also helps students learn critical soft skills like collaborating and advocating for themselves both in the classroom and through the award-winning Tiger Trons robotics team and the brand new "Girls Who Code" club!
Ms. Castello’s work was recently featured on FOX 7 Austin, and we’re so proud of her dedication to her students. Please join us in thank her for her hard work!
