Our 8th graders got a sneak peak at what to expect when they enter High School next year! Students and staff representing our Career & Technical Education (CTE) pathways met with students and shared the different opportunities available. They learned about Ag-Mechanics projects, played student-created video games, ate cookies in Culinary Arts, and met Princess the goat...among MANY other things! We can't wait to see which CTE Pathway these students choose for themselves for next year! #TigerPride https://shs.smithvilleisd.org/o/shs/page/cte
