👇The ones who saw something and invested in me to be the best educator to best serve children. Laura Perkins, Cassandra Washington, Julia Daniely, Meg Turner. They shared wisdom & insight, tasked leadership positions, coached, listened, and empowered. Forever grateful! #IWM2025

“If they can believe it—they can achieve it!” Thank you to the amazing women (industry partners, principals, & parents) who joined for the @cte_innovation Women’s Day recruitment event! @gcschools Students have to see themselves in a future career before they take the first step!

Addison has one of the BEST student resumes I’ve seen in 16 years! From day 1 at @cte_innovation she asked for mentorship in public speaking/confidence and she’s got it! So proud to support her as the BEST representative of @gcschools in aerospace engineering @brhstigers

[Katie Porter @KporterGCS]

Loving my new @cte_innovation pullovers embroidered by @HillcrestHSRams school based business, Ramtastic Goods! Mrs. Scott’s students did a wonderful job and got to enhance their employability skills!

When the @cte_innovation 2nd year clean energy and emerging automotive students are learning to use Autodesk/Fusion360 and you say you’ll buy them donuts if they can successfully 3D design/model a donut. Challenge accepted! 🍩 Good gracious I love our kiddos!

[Katie Porter @KporterGCS]

Ashton loves and supports our @cte_innovation students! She willingly takes any big ideas I share for the center and makes it a reality! So grateful to have this gem of a counselor—celebrating her big this #NSCW25! @ASCAtweets

[Katie Porter @KporterGCS]

Opening a @gcschools school—involved much research and problem solving. LOVED teaching our Emer. Auto class this morning and helping students “think big” in the engineering design step of solving problems & research. Using go-carts definitely got them energized! #foreverateacher

[Katie Porter @KporterGCS]

We see the positive effects of brain breaks in our @cte_innovation students! We provide options for physical, emotional, and mental breaks each day!
