CCS Spirit Week!

Success doesn’t always show up in a test score. One field trip allowed Chris to find his passion. Two days ago he informed me that he has not missed a day of work (52 days straight), which was not the case for his time at school. This is our WHY! THANK YOU CTE!

🎓💡Join us in celebrating Christopher Matthews, a 2026 graduating senior from Jack Britt High School! His journey highlights the powerful impact of Career and Technical Education (CTE) experiences and workforce partnerships within Cumberland County Schools.

Christopher already possessed a strong passion for becoming an electrician, but he was preparing to graduate without clear employment prospects. On April 1, 2026, he attended the CCS Operations "April Tools' Day" career exploration event through his CTE program. Seeing the Electrical Department firsthand and experiencing the hands-on career opportunities within CCS Operations confirmed he was on the right path.

Determined to turn his dream into reality, Christopher teamed up with Marlo Mercer, CTE Special Populations Coordinator, to build a professional résumé and navigate the application process. Showing incredible initiative, he initially applied online for a Plumber Apprentice I position and later submitted an application for an Electrician Apprentice I position as soon as an opening became available.

Christopher's hard work, enthusiasm, and commitment paid off! He interviewed for both roles and ultimately received a full-time, permanent offer as an electrician, the exact career path he had his sights set on.

Thanks to this valuable CTE experience, the support of CCS Operations, and Christopher's determination, he is officially launching his career with Cumberland County Schools. This success story perfectly demonstrates how career exploration, industry partnerships, and meaningful opportunities connect classroom learning to real-world success.
Congratulations, Christopher, on achieving your dream career! We are so proud of you!
