Yesterday, we celebrated an exciting milestone for our District, Clay High School Career & Tech and our students with the reopening of the Engineering Design & Development program.

Through a generous $100,000 investment, Cenovus Energy Toledo Refinery, in partnership with the Oregon Schools Foundation, is helping expand opportunities for our students and strengthen the connection between education and our local workforce.

Thank you, Cenovus, for investing in education, believing in our students and helping prepare the next generation of innovators, problem-solvers and skilled professionals right here in our community!
