💛 The Power Behind Gratitude 💛
Over the next few weeks, NCTA students will be exploring the power of gratitude in their classrooms. Each student will receive a gratitude journal to help them reflect on what they’re thankful for and recognize the positives in their daily lives. ✨
We invite families to join us — create opportunities for your teens to share what they’re grateful for at home. These moments help build empathy, positivity, and resilience — not just in the classroom, but throughout our community. 💬🌻
Together, we can help our students see that even in challenging times, there is always something to be thankful for.
Gratitude is power. 💪💛

👩🏻‍✈️Guest Speaker Spotlight ~ Boeing ✈
Cory Gestson, a member of Boeing's Workforce Development, came out to our Anacortes campus to talk to our students about the opportunities offered by the world's largest aerospace manufacturing company. Cory told us about the many different career opportunities that students from our Core Plus Aerospace Manufacturing program have access to. Currently, Boeing is accepting applications for their paid summer internship positions. Over the years, many of our Aerospace students have applied to and been accepted into this program where they learn what it's like to build some of the biggest and most advanced aircraft in the world.
Cory was also eager to tell our students about the BPET program offered exclusively to students in these Core Plus Aerospace programs. The BPET form is the Willy Wonka Golden Ticket of this industry. By showing a high aptitude and meeting the NCTA standards of Highly Sought After professional expectations, students can apply to Boeing with this form that moves them straight to the final steps of the hiring process at Boeing. The partnership exists only because of the reputation of NCTA students over the years in these professional environments.
If you are a junior or senior in high school and are interested in the oldest and most important skilled trade in the Puget Sound region, the Northwest Career & Technical Academy may be a great fit for you!

🎬💥 SQUATOBER: ENDGAME 💥🎬 @PugetSoundSkillsCenter
In a month-long test of strength, grit, and justice, two mighty forces collided — Law & Justice ⚖️ vs. Sports Medicine 🏋️‍♀️ — in the legendary Squatober Showdown!
The battles were fierce. The quads were burning. The DOMS were real. But in the end, one class stood tall (and a little sore) above the rest…
🏆 LAW & JUSTICE has claimed victory and will retain the DOMS of Justice Trophy! ⚖️🔥
A huge shoutout to Sports Medicine for bringing the energy, spirit, and deep squats of champions. 💪
Though the dust settles (and the legs recover), the story isn’t over…
👀 This December, our heroes will reunite for another epic chapter.
Until then — stay strong, stay sore, and remember…
Justice never skips leg day. 🦵⚡
