WST Summer School Medical Careers students created wounds to learn about wound care. Some were very creative!










Impressive work by Omar, a first-year welding student from @ferrissaxons!
As part of a hands-on project, Omar fabricated a custom metal railing. Incredible craftsmanship and a great example of skill in action. Keep it up, Omar!

NCTA Money & Buisness Shout Out!📢
✨National Championship Competition ✨
Money & Business sent 10 students to the Junior Achievement National Championships in Atlanta this past week. As you may have heard, our students won all 10 seats available from Washington by beating local state teams last month. For some perspective - 80,000 students competed nationwide. Only 291 were invited to Atlanta. Our students competed in a stock market scenario as well as a marketing competition. One of our teams (Lucas, Avery, Garrett, Tim) took 3rd place 🏆 in the Stock Market Challenge (picture below)! This is a huge win for our program and our school! Congratulations to Liam and all the Money & Business students who participated.

✨Our Summer School students just performed their very first facial service today — and they rocked it! 💆♀️💫
Using professional Dermalogica Pro products, they gave each other a full Pro60 facial, including:
🫧 Double Cleanse
🌿 Exfoliation
💆 Facial & Hand Massage
🧖♀️ Masque
💧 Toner & Moisturizer
☀️ And of course... SPF!
They even mastered proper disinfection protocols to keep everything squeaky clean and state board ready. So proud of how far they’ve come already — future Estheticians in the making! 💼💜 #WSTBeauty #FacialDay #SummerGlow #FutureEstheticians #DermalogicaPro #HandsOnLearning

What do you get when you mix 13 Moses Lake Firefighters with 13 CBTECH Fire Science students together? A full day packed full of sweat, fun, and learning at the Moses Lake Fire Department! Summer class was held at the firehouse where students practiced portable fire extinguishers, hoisting tools, hose handling techniques, breaching walls, and their favorite part of cutting up cars!
“How lucky are we to be able to merge the two greatest jobs in the world together (firefighting and teaching) to create a day of pure joy, learning, and growth for both our students and our city firefighters” said Instructor. Lt. Dodd

#CorePlusAerospace #Internships #Hexcel
Hexcel, an aerospace composites corporation, is just wrapping up it’s 2025 student internship program. Brad Adams, Hexcel’s representative that partners with NCTA to coordinate the internship program had this to share:
“This year’s internship group was very impressive and represented NCTA admirably! They were always on time and prepared for learning. They maintained positive attitudes throughout the sessions, asked questions, and were always polite and appreciative. All their assigned trainers were very complimentary of this group. I believe this reflects the great job that Mr. Leander, and all the teachers of NCTA are doing in preparing students for future careers.
Thank you so much for allowing us to be a partner.”

Austen Woody from Woodland High School is the Pre-Electrical Dennis Kampe Scholarship Recipient of $1000!
⭐I plan on attending either Volta Lineman School or Idaho Lineman School to pursue becoming a lineman.
⭐This scholarship would help tremendously financially by covering most of my lineman school tuition, which would give me the upper hand on getting accepted into the local 125 union for linemen.
🎉Congratulations, Austen!
