The Hewes Educational Center hosted a thank-you luncheon this morning to recognize Junior Student Ambassadors and celebrate the success of December’s Sophomore Tour Week in promoting Career & Technical Education! 👏
Principal Paul Mihalko spoke about the importance of standing out when pursuing future career opportunities. Each ambassador received a certificate of recognition from Aaron Taylor, CTE counselor, to include in their employment portfolios.
School social worker Alissa Rinaldo also highlighted upcoming initiatives where Student Ambassadors will play a key role, including the inaugural Hewes CTE Spirit Week and an eighth-grade “Taste of Tech” event this spring.
A big thank you to our juniors for their hard work, leadership, and dedication to representing Hewes so well! 🎉
