To celebrate national Career and Technical Education (CTE) month, State Superintendent Dr. Jill Underly visited Belleville High School (BHS) on Tuesday, February 20th. This was part of the State Superintendent's tour of Wisconsin visiting "outstanding career and technical education programs throughout the state."
Mr. Berthelon, Mr. Pickett, and their Wildcat Manufacturing students began the morning showing Dr. Underly and other Department of Public Instruction (DPI) representatives how a school-based, student-run business operates. It was then off to Mrs. Gartley's kitchen for her Culinary II students to share their latest slider recipes and creations. Finally, Dr. Underly and her staff visited Kelsch Machine Corporation and parent/owner Jason Frey. Kelsch employs three BHS Youth Apprentices. The State Superintendent had the opportunity to see Isaac Erb, Logan McCullough, and Riley Weber in action on the job site. Thanks to Mr. Frey for hosting this experience!
As always, our students, staff, parents, and community represented Belleville SO well and showed our visitors the Wildcat Way. It was definitely a great day to be a Wildcat!
