Region 7 Education Service Center named 11 teachers across East Texas as Master Career and Technical Education (CTE) teachers. These teachers led full day trainings over the past two years to support other CTE teachers across the region. These master teachers were vetted through recommendations from their school, student success with industry-based certifications, and their students’ involvement in competitive CTE organizations.
Pine Tree’s Caity Rutledge has led 2 in-person CTE Graphic Design Academy meetings, which are full day training events for area CTE graphic design teachers. Her support continues through online collaboration and one-on-one support with teachers from other districts.
Ms. Rutledge also leads several student organizations and elective classes at PTHS. She serves as the high school webmaster and social media manager.
Region 7 encompasses over 100 school districts in East Texas and is headquartered in Kilgore, TX.
Congratulations, Mrs. Rutledge! #pirateproud
