Clare-Gladwin CTE is pleased to support the City of Clare and the Youth Police Academy, providing local students with valuable opportunities to learn about careers in public safety.

Throughout the academy, students have learned from professionals representing a variety of agencies, including the Michigan State Police Motorcycle Unit, the FBI, the Isabella County Prosecutor's Office, the Michigan DNR Law Enforcement Division, the Clare County Sheriff's Office, the Clare County Dive Team, and military police. These presentations gave students a firsthand look at the many career paths available in law enforcement and public safety.

Today, participants are wrapping up the academy with a visit to Camp Grayling, where they'll tour the installation and experience a special stop at the aerial gunnery range to watch F-16s from the Ohio Air National Guard conduct training exercises.

Thank you to the City of Clare for organizing this outstanding program and to all of the agencies and professionals who made this experience possible for our local students. @CityofClare #CityofClare #CTEitsWorking #CGRESD #youthpoliceacademy

The Clare-Gladwin CTE Welding Technology students proudly debuted Lady Freedom at the Beaverton 4th of July Parade! Thanks to everyone who helped make this project possible. We're especially proud to share that, out of approximately 60 parade entries, Lady Freedom was awarded Most Original Float!

Congratulations to our talented students on a job well done!

Culinary Arts Instructor Heidi Rocha had the opportunity to take four 2nd year students (FHS grad - Bob Hunt & HHS grads - Jasper Caster, Amber Walters, & Alexis Brooks) to attend the National Restaurant Association (NRA) Show at McCormick place in Chicago. The NRA show is the largest Food Show in the world. The trip was paid for by catering profits.

Students experienced professional development, showing student opportunities in the industry, networking with professionals, and learning about products. At the beginning of the show there was a panel of hospitality professionals who shared their stories and helpful tips for getting into the industry.

The group also had the opportunity to explore various attractions and restaurants around Chicago (Navy Pier, Chicago 360, Millenium Park, Museum of Science & Industry).

Welcome back students! Last week, Clare-Gladwin Career & Technical Education (CTE) opened the 2025-26 school year with an exciting start. The day began with a special ceremony in the new CTE Education Center Conference Room before students headed to their program labs and classrooms. By the end of the week, students from Beaverton, Clare, Farwell, Gladwin, and Harrison schools were already engaging in hands-on learning and exploring all that CTE has to offer. #CGRESD #CTEitsWorking

Keeping friends, family, and loved ones feeling well keeps everyone happy, so we at CTE want to recognize and appreciate our community partners to say "Thank You!" to MyMichigan Health from Clare in helping us provide opportunities to our students in work-based learning! #CTEitsWorking #HealthOccupations #WBL

Work-Based Learning (WBL) is an opportunity where students here at CTE get placed into a local business to use their skills that they've learned in their chosen program. They get to experience firsthand the real-world workforce and gain industry-relevant experience. WBL students could potentially gain an income doing what they learned and enjoy doing! We currently have 116 students in the field with these local businesses and the numbers are still increasing! #CTEitsWorking #WBL
