Akron Career Tech High School

Monthly Newsletter
From The Principle's Desk

As we enter the holiday season, we are thankful for the many things that our students and staff are accomplishing everyday. This past Thanksgiving our staff took the initiative by blessing a few families within our community. Those families were donated much needed resources and food to help ensure a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. I believe that it is these kind of efforts and our continued comment to community that makes Akron Career Tech so special. Regarding how we're gonna make this holiday season/December special for our students, we will be showing a few holiday movies throughout the month. We believe a festive environment during these times are conducive to student moral and the overall learning experience. Inclosing, Christmas break starts December 26 through January 6th, 2025. Myself and the entire Akron Career Tech High School, wish everyone have a happy holiday season.




Food Business and Service

The Culinary Arts program had two showcases with Media Arts and

more. The first showcase was a project where we got to make food trucks. We glued,

painted, put wheels on it, and created our own food designs. My group name was Soul Food Delights. We made a menu, then we had to do our paperwork. After the class finished, we came over to the Media Arts program and we showed off our food trucks. We told them about the menu and how we made our business. Then everybody voted for Paress and she won.

For the second showcase, we went around the school and fed the teachers broccoli and cheddar soup. We were training to properly serve people and give them their food, bowl, silverware, and napkins with a side of crackers. The teachers rated us on our presentations. By the way, there's a video that features both showcases as well as myself.

Career week at Akron Career Tech

Ty, Mrs. Simmons & News Broadcaster
George Carter

This past November 2024 Akron Career Tech had a career week. There were a lot of speakers. The speakers were motivational speakers. How did that affect the students at Akron Career Tech? It affected the students in a positive way because some students aren't sure what to do after they graduate high school. The speakers motivated them to go to college after high school. They said that there are other ways to succeed. There are multiple ways you can create A business. There are a lot of things you can motivate yourself to do. When you want to motivate yourself, make sure it’s positive to keep yourself going. Also, don't let someone else bring you down. In closing, the main thing that was said by all the speakers was to always stay positive!! Sometimes all you need is yourself. Believe in yourself and believe that you will. Stay positive and don't let somebody bring you down.
