...a message from our President!

Greetings fellow CTE Educators,

Welcome to the 2021-2022 school year! It is my pleasure to serve you and SCACTE as President. As I write this welcome letter, we are well into the start of our school year and there has been so much of uncertainty. This pandemic is holding steady and continues to challenge us as we try to move forward. Some have already seen a major influx of missing students from their classes, or have even changed over to virtual. Know that our thoughts are with you and we sincerely hope that this letter finds you in good health mentally and physically.

Even with all this craziness of what this pandemic is bringing, or has already brought, I see such hope in our future. We have “learned” how to handle things with our students even if they are not in person. We have critically thought about how we can educate them to be the best version of themselves in the CTE careers they desire. Our CTE programs continue to grow and we are seeing many certifications and completers out of them. I can say with full confidence that I am very proud of the systems we have in place to keep our programs alive. We will all “survive” this time if we continue to work together to educate and advocate for CTE.
We are privileged to be part of a great organization. We are not just CTE educators, we are leaders in our communities that continue to improve and promote CTE by being advocates in legislation. We also have an outstanding liability insurance policy that covers up to one million dollars. These are just two perks of our organization. I am asking that you share what we are about with your fellow educators and encourage them to join our organization.

Thank you to all of our SCACTE members. We appreciate your loyalty to our organization and the work that you do. Thank you also to Ray Boland, Executive Director, and his wife Marcelle, who put in many hours to keep our organization alive and well. Wishes for good health to all of you. If I can be of any assistance, please reach out to me at dcrumpton@lexington1.net.

Sincerely,
Dana M. Crumpton
SCACTE President 2021-2022
