"Bring Yourself, Together We'll Build the Rest."
More than 130 middle and high school students from across Skagit and Whatcom counties explored NCTA programs during three events held at our Mount Vernon and Anacortes campuses.
See Yourself Here Days took place on March 31 and April 2, giving students the opportunity to rotate through three programs of interest. See Yourself Here Night, held on April 14, featured an arena-style showcase of all NCTA programs, where families connected with passionate students and instructors.
Each event included interactive activities designed and led by current NCTA students, offering an authentic glimpse into student life at NCTA. Whether students are just beginning to explore career possibilities or already have a path in mind, these events highlight how attending NCTA during the school year or summer session can help move their goals forward.

On March 2-4, SEATech’s HOSA Health Science Careers program took six students to attend the State Leadership Conference in Spokane. This experience provided students with valuable exposure to a wide range of healthcare careers and learning opportunities.
Students participated in hands-on activities such as a Stop the Bleed course, an introduction to ultrasound, and practicing basic suturing techniques. In addition to building practical skills, they connected and networked with peers who share similar interests in healthcare careers while also exploring new opportunities in the field.
We are proud of these students for representing SEATech and taking meaningful steps toward their future in healthcare.

The latest Superintendent’s Message is out, and it highlights important progress across Seattle Public Schools.
After spending the past few months listening to students, families, educators, and community members, Superintendent Ben Shuldiner reflects on how those voices are shaping decisions, most recently with the unanimous adoption of a new K–5 English Language Arts curriculum.
The message also looks ahead, lifting up a commitment to thoughtful, timely action and expanding opportunities for students, including broader access to advanced math pathways this summer.
