Almost 2,000 8th grade students toured our 27 pathways, asking questions of 75+ industry and business professionals, educating themselves about GPISD CTE schools and programs of choice on Thursday. A huge thank you to Matt Loh and Asia Times Square for hosting us, GPISD transportation and Dana Acock for getting all of the buses back and forth all day, the middle school counselors, teachers and administration for making it all happen, the pathway teachers and all of our volunteers. The next step is to apply for your program or school of choice by December 15.
