...a message from our President!![]() Greetings!
For those whom I’ve not had the pleasure of meeting, please let me introduce myself. My name is Leon Burgess, and I am both thrilled and honored to serve as the SCACTE’s President for the 2022-2023 school year. I presently serve as the Director of College and Career Readiness/CTE for Florence School District 3 (Lake City, SC), and I am looking forward to an exciting and progressive year. Although the pandemic has dampened our spirits for the past few years, I truly believe that this is going to be a year of great progress for us. We’ve slowly been reintroduced to a new normal this past year, and things are definitely looking up. SCACTE’s membership numbers are showing a healthy desire to remain undaunted by the effects of COVID and to continue providing students with program offerings that will enable them to be successful after high school. I truly believe that CTE is the only gateway that shows ALL students what success looks like—the 4.0 student who is trying to navigate his/her way to the next level, the 3.0 student who may not be sure that college is the right path for him/her, and even the 1.0 student who may have been tossed to the side while others have given up on positive outcomes for him/her—each of these students is able the thrive in a successful CTE program and reap the benefits on his/her own terms. That, fellow educators, is truly exciting! As we move into the 2022-2023 school year, I’d like to challenge you to do a few things:
I’m ready for a stellar year, and I hope that you are ready and willing to embark upon this journey with me. If you have any ideas that you’d like to give life, or if you simply have a concern or need a listening ear, please feel free to reach out to me at LeonBurgess@gmail.com or LBurgess@fsd3.org. Additionally, I can be reached at (843) 374-8652. I’m here to serve you—thanks for the opportunity! |
