The end of the school year is almost here! There is no school Monday in honor of Memorial Day, and Tuesday & Wednesday are minimum days with an 11:50am dismissal time. Finish strong, Titans!

Graduation is almost here, CTEC Titans! We can’t wait to celebrate the Class of 2026 on May 27 as they cross the stage and officially become CTEC graduates. 📍 Senior Arrival: 5:30 PM 📍 Gates Open: 6:30 PM 📍 Ceremony Begins: 7:30 PM One more week until we celebrate everything this class has built together!

Two awards. Two divisions. One incredible team. Our CTEC Titans Farm Robotics Challenge team earned: 🏆 Excellence in Drone Applications — Community College Division (Yes… they moved us UP a division because they were so impressed with the project.) 🏆 Excellence in Specialty Crops — Academy Division These students spent months designing, building, testing, troubleshooting, and pushing through real engineering challenges to create technology with real agricultural applications. No simulations. No hypothetical work.

Congratulations to Mason Carter and Hugo Vasquez for earning their Certified @SOLIDWORKS Associate (CSWA) certification this year. The CSWA is an industry-recognized certification that shows students can use professional CAD software to solve real engineering and manufacturing design problems — a skill that’s highly valued across industry. Proud of the work these two put in to earn it! Shout out Mr. Cantu for the support!

Senior Spotlight: Isaiah Silvas | Class of 2026 After graduation, Isaiah plans to attend California State University, Fresno to study Construction Management. He hopes to continue building his skills and pursue a career in construction, possibly as a project manager. Through CTEC’s Construction Pathway, Isaiah gained hands-on experience using tools, working on projects, and learning how things are built, which he says helped him discover the career path he wants to pursue after high school.

Coach Martinez is encouraging CTEC Titans to take advantage of the FREE @planetfitness High School Summer Pass! Teens ages 14–19 can work out free from June 1–August 31 through the High School Summer Pass program. A great way to stay active, build healthy habits, and keep working toward your goals this summer. Check out their website for more info.

One night can’t capture everything these students have built, but it’s a pretty good reminder of how far they’ve come. From internships and certifications to presentations, projects, and experiences that pushed them outside their comfort zones, senior showcase is a glimpse into the growth behind the last four years at CTEC. Congratulations Class of 2026!

Tonight was really about seeing how far they’ve come. The projects. The presentations. The technical skills. The professionalism. The confidence. Proud of our juniors for everything they brought to Showcase tonight, and for the way they’ve raised the bar this year. More from tonight’s event coming soon.
