We are so proud to introduce one of our amazing Esthetics Program graduates, Jazzie Sanchez! 🎉
Jazzie completed the College Program and graduated in 2022. That same year, she became a licensed esthetician—and in just three short years, she’s already built her own thriving business: Iris and The Fox
, her very own studio! 🦊💐
💖 What Jazzie Loves About Her Career
“The ability to run my own business—controlling my procedures, schedule, and policies.”
💡 Wisdom for Current & Future Students
“Get your license and continue your education forever. There’s always something new to learn, and there isn’t just one right way. Learn from others, and then choose the best way for you.”
🌟 Program Takeaway
Even the little things made a big difference. Jazzie shared how she learned subtle techniques—like always keeping a hand on her client—to help create a comfortable, elevated client experience.
😂 Favorite Memory from Class
“Kahoot competitions with my classmates!”
We are so proud of everything Jazzie has accomplished since graduating from WST Esthetics—and we can’t wait to see what’s next for her! ✨

This company was Mr. Traxlerś inspiration for shifting his robotics class this year to include tractors, sprayers, and drones. For example, drones can scan thousands of acres to detect weeds and other issues. Because of this targeted approach, up to 70% of a field doesn’t need to be sprayed. That’s why our robotics used in trades are now agriculture-oriented here in the Palouse.
They also visited Sytech Precision (metal fabrication) and Norfolk Iron & Metal.
These hands-on tours give students the opportunity to see how what they’re learning at SVT can be applied to real-world careers. A big thank you to all of the companies who made this possible!

The primary purpose of Skills Centers is to give students the academic and work skills to successfully enter the job market or advanced education and training. Skills Centers provide cost-effective, quality job training in programs that would be too expensive to offer at every high school.

Last week, our CBTECH community came together to honor and remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001. Our Criminal Justice and Firefighting students stood tall and proud alongside their peers as we paid tribute to the American flag. Together, we listen to our Criminal Justice and Firefighting instructors reflect on the events of that infamous day—a day that changed our nation forever and will never be forgotten. We want to thank everyone who took the time to be with us, especially our military, first responders and volunteers who were with us for this commemoration.

Attendance is a major contributor to student success!
Students who regularly attend classes are more likely to graduate on time and perform better on state tests. However, some students face potential challenges to getting to school, including unreliable transportation, unsafe walking routes, and health issues.
Attendance is a priority for State Superintendent Chris Reykdal. While regular attendance dropped during the pandemic across the nation, Washington students' attendance has steadily increased each year since 2022, thanks to the sustained efforts of students, families, and educators.
OSPI has published a webpage that gets into the root causes of absenteeism and best practices for improving attendance. Included in these links are real-world examples that show how local school districts are helping students overcome obstacles and reengage with their learning.
Root Causes: https://ospi.k12.wa.us/.../root-causes-interventions...
Best Practices: https://ospi.k12.wa.us/.../best-practices-improving...
