From welding to culinary arts, patient care to digital design, students at the Wilson Talent Center wrapped up the year by showing exactly what hands-on education looks like in action.

The annual Year-End Student Showcase invited guests to explore each program area and connect directly with the students who brought their projects to life. Demonstrations included health science simulations, law enforcement training exercises, mechanical diagnostics, lab science presentations, food service creations, and more.

Across the building, visitors were met with creativity, professionalism, and pride. Students explained their processes, answered questions with confidence, and even offered samples of their hard work—whether that meant a raspberry tart, a custom animation sequence, or a metal sculpture welded from horseshoes.

Career and Technical Education (CTE) isn’t just about learning a trade—it’s about discovering strengths, building connections, and gaining the tools to succeed after graduation.

Congratulations to every student who participated, and thank you to the instructors and staff who helped guide them this year!
