9 is fine! Congrats to the @RRHSactivities VEX Robotics on winning both another State Tournament and Overall Excellence Award to qualify for the World’s Competition. Riders are now the 9x consecutive state champion! #nd_cte @GFSchools @GFisCooler
Community Partnerships are a hallmark of high-quality CTE programs. Recently, @GFSchools instructors were able to look over excess inventory after Altru's move into their new hospital and identify items that can be used within our CTE courses and hands-on activities. #CTEMonth
On President's Day, we congratulate Naomi Rahman (@RRHSactivities) on being a candidate for the US Presidential Scholar in CTE award. Each US state is able to forward 5 names to the national level, and Naomi is one of ND's selections!

Continuing yesterday's focus on @VEXRobotics, check out the success of South MS over the past few years. Great organizations start with great advisors, and hats off to Randy & Joey Votava for all they are doing to support their students! #CTEMonth #nd_cte @GFSchools @GFisCooler
CTE isn't only for high school students! We proudly offer a number of CTE courses at the Middle School level, along with competitive @VEXRobotics clubs at MS & Elementary. Students are preparing for the ND State Tournament, being hosted in GF next month! #CTEMonth @GFSchools
Congratulations to @RRHS_DECA & @GFC_DECA School Stores, who both have been recognized as Gold-Level Certified. The school stores are an extension of the Marketing Education program, allowing students to gain experience within a retail environment. #nd_cte #CTEMonth @GFSchools
With ND currently working through the legislative session, it was powerful to have @GFC_Activities at the State Capitol this week to showcase and discuss their CTE experience. Students are the best advocates! #CTEMonth @NorthDakotaCTE @GFSchools
CTE courses offer a direct connection from the classroom to the real-world. A recent example is @GFC_Activities students spending time with Shane Balkowitsch, to learn about the historic art process of wet plate photography, which dates back to the 1850s. #CTEMonth #nd_cte
Today's CTE Month Celebration? Congrats to Lauryn Brynjulson (@RRHS_Activities) on receiving the NCWIT "Aspirations in Computing" national honorable mention award. Lauryn has excelled in the IT courses, CyberMadness, and Girls Who Code. #nd_cte @GFSchools @GFisCooler @NCWIT
Did you know that February is National Career & Technical Education (CTE) Month? CTE is an essential component of our student's education within @GFSchools in helping Ss explore and start developing their career pathway with hands-on and engaging courses in MS & HS. #nd_cte
Another successful Northern Valley Career Expo was held last week in Grand Forks! Over 2,000 students from 58 schools in the NE North Dakota / NW Minnesota area attending to explore high-wage, high-growth career pathways. #nd_cte @GFisCooler @GFSchools

Way to go kiddos! You represented RRHS, @GFSchools, and North Dakota proudly! Thank you @Custmcrawler and @TheOstgarden for the hours you put into this season! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
With that our season is done. Neither team made it to eliminations but both teams feel good about what they accomplished. Big Cheese ended with a 4-6 record while Anthropomorphic Canary ended at 5-5. I’m very proud of everything these kids have accomplished! @RRHSactivities
