“Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.” – St. Francis of Assisi It is a good time to be involved in Career and Technical Education in San Elizario. February is National Career and Technical Education Appreciation month and I would like to formally thank our CTE instructors, aides and of course the administrators at each campus that oversee our CTE programs. We are doing great things and bringing great op- portunity to our students and it is because of you and the dedication you give to our CTE programs that we see these opportunities being brought to light. I would like to congratulate our Business Professional of America (BPA) students. 11 of the 17 students who com- peted were recognized as state qualifiers. 2 of the 12, Elizabeth Gonzalez and Aaron Vaquera, will travel to Dallas, Texas the first week of March to compete in BPA at the state level. Our SkillsUSA students are just beginning their local competitions to determine state qualifiers. We wish all of our students the best of luck. As a district, we are expanding and upgrading many of our CTE programs. Some as a response up to HB5 require- ments for increased rigor and relevance and others just to insure that our programs measure to industry standards. The Arts and A/V program at the middle school has received all new equipment to complete their Broadcasting course. Furniture and other in-class fixtures are on order and this class will be 100% up and running by the end of this school year. The high school Arts and A/V program just received some embroidery machines and we look forward to the time when this course will be able to meet any and all printing needs for the district as well as other private industry en- tities within San Elizario. Our print shop is well underway to being completely student run which will expose our students not only to the needs of industry with respect to design and printing of various media but also with the day to day demands of running a small business in our community. Our high school Automotive Technology program continues to grow with respect to student interest and to equipment being purchased which will allow more instructional opportunities for our students. This program has received various scanners, diagnostic and other hand held tools as well as a tire changer, tire balancer and just recently an industry level scissor lift for raising vehicles allowing for general inspections, oil changes and other routine but necessary observational activities. Equipment will continue to be purchased for this program until students from San Elizario are able to receive the same instructional opportunities as students from other, larger school districts. Finally, although not entirely CTE in nature, we have begun the process of placing STEM components at the elementary campuses for ALL students.

Career and technology education (CTE) directors from many school districts in Area 11, which includes both El Paso and Hudspeth counties, nominated Rodriguez. “It is an honor to be nominated by these individuals, some of whom have been in education for almost 30 years, and who feel that what I have done has made an impact and helped them in their contributions to CTE and their students,” Rodriguez said.
