CTEC High School senior Jacob Cavazos turned his passion for art and welding into a stunning metal fountain, now displayed at the Fresno County Superintendent of Schools. Inspired by a challenge from his father, our welding instructor, Jacob designed and built the piece, symbolizing the layers of support in education. Now heading to Fresno State to study art, he credits CTEC for helping him shape his future. Thank you to the Education Matters sponsors – Educational Employees Credit Union | EECU, Chevron Central California & Fresno Pacific University for sharing this story!
