At CTEC High School a powerful tradition begins with 9th graders, raw materials, and two meaningful words: You Matter 💚💙 Using sheet metal and rod, students follow the full manufacturing process—design ✏️, cutting ✂️, shaping 🔨, assembly ⚙️, and finish paint 🎨—to create a metal flower 🌹 🌸 from start to finish. Each year, the designs grow more creative and meaningful, reminding every student of one of our cultural pillars: You Matter 🌼✨
