Happy Friday, Tigers!

We hope you had a fantastic first week. We're so glad to have everyone back!

We’re excited to launch something new: CT Friday Fab 3.

Each week, we’ll highlight three great things happening in our school family in a short video. This idea has been brought to life by Jas Dickey, a former Cape Central High Tiger, SkillsUSA Nationals medalist, and now our video intern. 🎥 You may have seen her on a billboard around town for her SkillsUSA medal!

🌟 CT Friday Fab 3

1. Welcome Back!
Thank you to everyone for making our first week a success.

2. Exploring Careers with Scouting America
A new partnership gives students hands-on opportunities through field trips and the Exploring Program, connecting them with real-world careers.

3. Advanced Welding at CTC
Our new state-of-the-art welding facility lets students train locally in Welding I, II, and Advanced Welding—no long drives required! Explore more programs in the CTC Opportunity Catalog.

Monday, December 9, 2024 Good morning. The City of Cape Girardeau just issued a precautionary boil water advisory for the City due to a large water main break near the Cape Rock Water Plant. We wanted to let families know that we have closed the drinking fountains throughout the District and are in the process of delivering bottled water for drinking water. Our nutrition services staff members will follow the recommended precautions provided by the City for lunch preparation today. Additionally, the water main break may change a couple of our bus routes until it is fixed. Please be patient with us if buses are running a few minutes behind this afternoon.
