Stay curious. Keep learning. Keep showing up.

Because the path to success is built one skill at a time.

Celebrate the legacy of a true trailblazer! 🌟

Shirley Chisholm, a powerhouse in the field of Government & Politics, not only was the first Black woman elected to the U.S. Congress, but she also paved the way for future generations through her dedication to public administration and leadership.

Known for being "unbought and unbossed," Chisholm’s impact on government services and policy continues to inspire leaders today.

Built by brilliance. 📚✨

Mary McLeod Bethune believed education was the pathway to opportunity—and she built that pathway herself. As the founder of Bethune-Cookman University, she expanded access to education and workforce training for generations of students.

Her leadership reminds us that classrooms don’t just teach lessons—they launch legacies.

From teaching and training to educational leadership and workforce development, today’s CTE programs continue the mission she championed: equipping students with the skills to lead, serve, and thrive.

Education opens doors. Leadership builds them. 🚪

Built by brilliance. 🏗️✨

Paul R. Williams broke barriers and built landmarks. As a pioneering architect, he designed thousands of homes, championed affordable housing, and contributed to the original concept for the monorail at Los Angeles International Airport.

His legacy lives on in every blueprint drafted, every structure engineered, and every student discovering their passion for architecture and construction.

From architectural drafting to building design and construction technology, today’s CTE students are designing the future—just like he did.

Innovation has a history. Excellence has a blueprint. 🏛️
