We have to give a huge shout out to Ms. Donna, Ms. Franklin, and Ms. Trish for Administrative Professionals Day! We are grateful for you everyday!

Happy Earth Day! To help beautify our school campus, CASE students participated in a trash clean up around the school. This turned up a great deal of waste, especially in our parking lots and their drainage areas! To celebrate Earth Week, let’s remember to keep our Earth and school grounds clean by properly disposing of our trash.

We are excited to celebrate the success of DCTC’s 2nd Annual Financial Literacy Seminar. Shay Lewis-Sisco, Career Coach said she appreciates Principal Robinson for seeing the value in hosting this event annually. The Career Coaching program understands the importance of providing financial education to our students to equip them to be career, college and life ready. We are grateful for the partnership we have with our local banks Bank Vanguard, Burke & Herbert, and Shore United for their commitment, dedication, partnership and contributions to the event and our students. Our students learned about the different bank accounts, how to write a check, balancing a checkbook, and information on credit.

Collaboration and partnerships are essential for ensuring our students receive the support and exposure to career readiness tools to prepare them for the workforce. Easton Utilities, HR Director,John Englehart and Scarlett Urena came to share their expertise on career resume, interview preparation , and creating an elevator pitch.

CASE students dissected chicken wings to identify different tissues found in animals. They removed epithelial tissues and compared skeletal and cardiac muscle tissue structure under a microscope. They also observed connective tissues such as bone, cartilage, tendons and ligaments and how those tissues aid in the movement of the limb.

Students in Human Body Systems were visited by Ms. Damaris Bourland to learn about muscle structure and function and complete a dissection activity.

Mrs. Emily Corbman visited the biomedical Innovations class today to discuss and explore the radiology field.
