The LoGuidice Educational Center recently welcomed hundreds of area high school students for a hands-on look at Career & Technical Education! 🧰🍰💇♀️
Students explored programs such as Automotive Body Repair, Automotive Technology, Conservation, Construction Technology, Cosmetology, Criminal Justice, Culinary Arts, Health Careers, Small Animal Science, Sports Conditioning & Exercise Science, and Welding/Metal Fabrication.
Visitors from 10 different school districts toured classrooms with the help of junior student ambassadors, spoke with instructors and current CTE students, and learned more about programs they are interested in pursuing.
Each visit began with an overview from LoGuidice School Counselor Alycia Lacki, who provided details about the programs offered through Erie 2-Chautauqua-Cattaraugus BOCES.

Educators from across the region met at the Baker Road Educational Center to discuss the New York State Portrait of a Graduate and how it can shape learning experiences for our youngest learners in pre-K through fifth grade.

Juniors and seniors in the Culinary Arts program at the LoGuidice Educational Center took teamwork to a whole new level this week! 👩🍳🍝👨🍳
As part of a hands-on, team-building activity, the Career & Technical Education students made homemade pasta, manually rolling the dough with one ambitious goal in mind: breaking the 44-foot record for the longest noodle.
Mission accomplished! Seniors in David Caccamise’s class edged past the record by just inches. ✨👏
