34th Annual Career and Technology Education dinner recognizes 131 BCPS seniors
TOWSON, MD. (May 2, 2008) - On Wednesday, April 30, in a ballroom filled with nearly 700 guests, Baltimore County Public Schools honored 131 Career and Technology Education program seniors during a banquet at Martin's West in Woodlawn.
The students recognized at the 34th Annual Career and Technology Education Dinner were those who demonstrated excellence in their programs, which include Business Education, School to Career Transition, Family Studies, Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps, Technology Education, and various technical programs. These career preparation programs are sequences of related courses that prepare students with the rigorous academic and technical skills needed to enter the workforce and/or postsecondary education. As Leila Walker, coordinator of the BCPS Office of Career and Technology Education, noted, virtually all of the programs are aligned with courses of study at the Community College of Baltimore County, and many students graduate eligible for as many 23 free credits at the college.
In his remarks at the event, Baltimore County Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Joe A. Hairston acknowledged the contributions of parents, Career and Technology Education staff, area assistant superintendents, business partners, and the Maryland State Department of Education.
Board President JoAnn C. Murphy expressed the Board's pride in the students' accomplishments and said that their achievements encourage the Board to continue and intensify its work to ensure that all students are successful in college, careers, and life. Other Board members participating in the event included Earnest E. Hines, Rodger C. Janssen, Mary Margaret O'Hare, Joseph J. Pallozzi, Joy Shillman, and student member Audrey Dittman.
A highlight of the evening was the presentation by Stephen Crum, chair of the Baltimore County Career and Technology Education Advisory Council, of the 8th Annual Anthony G. Marchione Scholarships (named in honor of a former BCPS superintendent). One student, named the overall winner, received a total of $2,000 in scholarships (a $500 area scholarship and $1,500 additional prize) for her academic and technical achievement, community and school service, and employment success. The 2008 top honoree was Jasmine T. of Chesapeake High School, a School to Career Transition student representing the Southeast Area. Four other students, one from each of the school system's other geographic areas, received $500 scholarships each. They are:
Southwest Area: Michelle B., Lansdowne High School, Business Management and Finance - Academy of Finance
Northwest Area: Britney M., Milford Mill Academy, Consumer Service, Hospitality, and Tourism - Cosmetology Careers
Central Area: Miles C., Dulaney High School, Business Management and Finance - Finance and Accounting
Northeast Area: Ryan S., Eastern Technical High School Manufacturing, Engineering, and Technology - Engineering Careers
Other evening highlights included: presentations by student Leigha C. of Overlea High School, who served as mistress of ceremonies, and student Steve R. of Eastern Technical High School, who offered reflections on his experiences as a CTE student; the airing of a video about the CTE program created by students at Dundalk High School; the Presentation of Colors by the Junior ROTC from Patapsco High School and Center for the Arts; a performance by the Sudbrook Middle School Jazz Ensemble (directed by music teacher Andrew Mitroff); and floral centerpieces created by students at Hereford High School.
The annual Career and Technology Education Student Recognition Dinner began in 1975 when a group of Baltimore County Public Schools counselors (now known as the Baltimore County Association for Counseling and Development) decided to honor those seniors who demonstrated outstanding achievement in their Career and Technology Education programs.
The dinner is now coordinated each year by this group and the Baltimore County Career and Technology Education Advisory Council. One volunteer, Marilyn Ryan, has assisted with the planning of at least 32 of the dinners including this year's. More than 55 business supporters contributed funds to cover the cost of dinner for all 2008 student honorees and to support the Marchione scholarship program.
