Temple Cte Department Reaches New Heights
Our Town Temple | June 14, 2022
The Temple High School Career & Technical Education Department is celebrating its continued impact on TISD students after posting some impressive results during the 2021-2022 school year.
The Temple High School CTE department released those numbers as part of the programs year-end celebration.
A total of 186 students combined to earn 243 industry based certifications during the 2021-2022 academic year. Those certifications covered 15 different disciplines.
The CTE department also qualified 40 students for state competitions and completed 244 service-based learning projects and events.
Both of those totals are more than double the number from the 2020-2021 school year. The increased number of students earning certifications is a particular point of pride for the department because of the direct impact it has on their ability to get hired.
When students earn industry recognized certifications, this shows employers they are ready to meet the technical challenges the workplace presents, said Denise Ayres, director of CTE for Temple schools.
It shows students have the knowledge and skill necessary to be value add to a team and it shows these students will need less on the job training than someone without this knowledge and skill, thus, they are ready to jump right into the work at hand, she said.

Central Texas Food Bank Opens Drive Thru To Keep People Safe
TEMPLE, TX The American Legion in Temple opened its parking lot to partner with the Central Texas Food Bank for a drive thru food distribution operation.
And they couldnt be happier to help
Im guessing right now weve had close to 800 maybe 900 cars,” John Potts with American Legion said. Two months ago the VA called us and said they needed a place to have their food drive because the VA had shut down and would not allow them on the parking lot to have that many people.
For those who are at risk, they can just drive thru and receive their items in the trunk of their vehicle. Asia Morton took advantage of the new drive thru this week, and she emphasized the importance of operations like it.
Its hard right because of the COVID-19 and stuff. I mean but it shows that if you really need food, instead of walking into H-E-B and stuff like that and like if your and older person, you can just drive through, and they can put it in your trunk for you, Morton said.
Derrick Chubbs, president and CEO of Central Texas Food Bank, said that they are very selective about the venue in order to keep people safe.
Since were doing a drive thru, well thats cars and traffic so we have to be very careful and selective about the venue we use in order to distribute the product,” he said.
If you are in need of food or would like to volunteer you can find all the information you need online.
