💻🔐 CTA on the national stage!

So proud of our Cybersecurity teacher and SkillsUSA Lead Advisor Robin Burns and Cybersecurity student and SkillsUSA Maryland State Officer Ty Cherry for presenting today at the National Cryptologic Foundation (NCF) Summit on Cybersecurity Education held this year in Columbia, MD.

Their session highlighted how Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs), like SkillsUSA, help students develop technical skills, leadership, and confidence that foster the growth of important skills needed for success in the world of IT and Cyber careers.

What an incredible opportunity to share the great things happening at CTA with educators and industry leaders from across the country!

CTA Cybersecurity teacher, Donald Cherry, was also able to attend and be part of the national conference. We look forward to what both Ms. Burns and Mr. Cherry will gain from this valuable PD opportunity that we will be able to apply in our classes here.

👏 Proud to see CTA represented on the national stage!

Twenty-five years ago on September 11, 2001, we lost one of our own.

Edmond “E.G.” Young, Jr. was a CTA alumnus.

As a student at Northern High School, E.G.’s interest in computers brought him to what was then the Calvert Career Center, now the Career & Technology Academy. He continued his education in computer applications and network administration and built a career in information technology.

On September 11, 2001, E.G. was working as a desktop support technician at the Pentagon, using the very kind of technical skills that first brought him through the doors of our school. He was just 22 years old.

There is something especially meaningful about remembering E.G. here at CTA. More than 25 years ago, he sat in classrooms like ours, discovered something he was good at, developed skills for his future, and turned those skills into a career of service.

Today, another generation of students walks those halls and prepares for careers in IT and cybersecurity and so many other fields. E.G.’s story reminds us that the work happening inside a career and technical school can carry far beyond its walls.

On this September 11, we are proud to say his name and honored to remember him as part of the CTA family.

Twenty-five years later, Calvert County students climbed to remember.

Led by CTA’s Fire & Rescue cadets, students from Calvert and Northern High Criminal Justice, Calvert NJROTC, and other CTA programs completed 2,200 flights of stairs to honor the first responders who answered the call on September 11, 2001.

We are incredibly proud of our students for taking the time to honor, remember, and understand this important history. 🇺🇸

As a new school year begins, we celebrate the students, educators and supporters of Calvert County's agricultural education programs during the International Year of the Woman Farmer.

Through the Calvert Career and Technology Academy - CCPS Curriculum for Agricultural Science Education (CASE) courses and Calvert FFA, students gain hands-on experience, leadership skills and career pathways that prepare them to become the next generation of agricultural professionals and innovators. These programs help cultivate future farmers, agribusiness leaders, scientists, educators and advocates who will shape the future of agriculture in Calvert County, Maryland, and beyond.

Thank you to the teachers, advisors, families and community partners who invest in agricultural education and help students grow their knowledge, confidence and leadership skills. Here's to another successful school year and to the future leaders of agriculture!
