CATEC Students, are you ready for the CATEC Olympics tomorrow? We're excited to have some fun showcasing our programs and testing our students' skills!


Today we're celebrating our first March Profile of a CATEC student: Collin Barnett, a @k12albemarle @MonticelloHigh senior who will use his @CatecVetscience curriculum and hands-on skills to study biology in college. Collin is also captain of the MHS tennis team and plays piano!


@CatecFire students conducted Firefighter 2 Vehicle Extrication Training. Big thanks to @CvilleFireDept for helping and the East Rivanna Fire station for bringing out an engine with hydraulic tools. We even had a CATEC Fire alum come out to help. Good to see you Hunter!





Congratulations to Derek Pixton from @CatecFire. This @AlbemarIeHigh @k12albemarle student earned his VDFP State Certified in Firefighter 1 and Hazardous Materials Operations.

We've got some big applause for another round of CATEC students. Congrats to these students for being hired as interns with the following local businesses. And thank you to the businesses who hire, pay, and provide real-world training for your students. #catec #catecforthewin


We rarely get to see our Nurse Assistant students out on clinicals. Even though they weren't in the CATEC building today, they were able to have some fun at Our Lady of Peace while they were doing rounds. We're proud of you, Nurse Assistant students!




We’ve got some St. Patty’s Day fun in the building today. Big thanks to our Academics team for pulling together some CATEC limerick scavenger hunt and candy at the end of the rainbow.





CATEC will be closed Friday, March 18th for a teacher work day. Enjoy your long weekend!


Last week we celebrated our UVAHealth ambulance donation. Check out some beautiful photos by @erineedgerton @DailyProgress. @uvahealthnews https://dailyprogress.com/watch-now-uva-health-donates-an-ambulance-to-catec/collection_f66e5336-9fe2-11ec-bbcf-33dcd04de94e.html#5

It’s getting fishy at CATEC! @CulinaryCatec students got to play fishmonger today thanks to @Wegmans red snapper donation. Students got to practice descaling and deboning the fish. Can’t wait for them to cook it up and serve!
