Another Career Skills Challenge Shout Out! Not our typical lane, but at CTEC, we back our students in whatever they choose to pursue! Alekxy Gonzalez and Jacob Camacho stepped up to compete in Child Development at this year’s Challenge, representing their interests and taking on something new! Didn’t place this year, but gained experience and they’re already looking forward to next year. Great job, Titans!

We are happy to be offering another round of free sports physicals for ALL CTEC students on May 7th, 2026 from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM on campus. Please have your student(s) pick up a sports packet from the nurse’s office. These sports physicals are good for the next school year and your student(s) need a sports physical in order to participate in all sports at CTEC! Spots are limited! If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to Nurse Murillo amurillo@fcoe.org.

Big news from SkillsUSA CA…👀 Congratulations to Khaylee Landeros on being elected to the State Officer Team! Selected by voting delegates at the state conference, she will represent California members throughout the year. We are SO proud and excited to see her lead at the next level.

Real skills. Real impact. CTEC students earn CPR certifications through their dual enrollment health course with Fresno City College—preparing them to respond when it matters most.

Still thinking about this one…what a week. CTEC students showed up at the 2026 State Conference and delivered! Bronze – Saif Saleem, Nathan Blodgett & Kayla Montenegro (Automated Manufacturing Technology) Bronze – Isaiah Hurtado-Munguia, Kailah Landeros, Teresa Cavazos (Chapter Display) Bronze – Aiden Moses, Jack Fortmeyer, Jedidiah Ayala, Marcos Zertuche (TeamWorks) Silver – Gabriel Lopez (Sheet Metal) And we’re not done yet… Daniel Pizano Ayala (Welding) and our Welding Fabrication team—Ethan Frazier, Henry Ballin, and Owen Kelley—are STATE CHAMPIONS and headed to nationals.

All that work you’ve been seeing? It led somewhere. SkillsUSA State results coming next.

Makayla Vesey Marissa Vesey Gavin Arredondo Benjamin Serrato They may not have placed this year, but getting out there as freshmen and having fun says everything.

Every student in this photo chose to step into the challenge! That’s what career readiness looks like at CTEC. Couldn’t be more proud of our Career Skills Challenge competitors! Thank you to all of the mentors and families who support them!

Today’s the day. Career Skills Challenge is here…and our students are about to put their skills to the test in real time! Let’s go, Titans! More to come from today’s competitions.

How do systems of access and exclusion shape opportunity in America? This semester, our 11th graders are exploring that question through real-world work…like coming alongside a community project through prototype fabrication. The project: Fresno State student-designed shaded bus shelters, developed through Fresno State’s Intelligent Interiors Visualization Lab with the City of Fresno and Fresno Area Express, aimed at addressing extreme heat and improving conditions for transit riders.
