MEXICO, NY – The Center for Instruction, Technology & Innovation celebrated hundreds of career and technical education completers throughout four ceremonies at its campus in Mexico, where parents, families and district administrators cheered them on.
“The students being recognized here today have worked hard,” said CiTi CTE Principal Michael Thurlow. “Undoubtedly, they have encountered challenges and setbacks that have tested them, pushed them to grow, and ultimately made them stronger. During their time at their home schools and here at CiTi BOCES, these students have been given the opportunities to fine-tune not only their life skills, but also the tools needed to go out and pursue their career goals. Whatever it is that you envision for yourself in the future, you are the one who will make it happen.”
