Chorus and Drama See Anastasia!
Seminole’s Chorus and Drama students traveled to The Cultural Arts Center in Dothan, Alabama to watch SEACT’s Youth perform “Anastasia the musical”. Afterwards, students talked with the cast and shared their personal experiences on the stage. It was a wonderful day with likeminded individuals. We look forward to see what’s in store for next year.

More Than a Classroom: CTAE Teachers Making a Difference at SCMHS
The Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education (CTAE) Department at SCMHS is more than a collection of classes - it is a launchpad for student success. Through hands-on learning, real-world applications, and a commitment to preparing students for life beyond high school, CTAE plays a vital role in shaping confident, capable, and career-ready graduates.
What really sets the CTAE department apart is its incredible teachers!! They bring energy, experience, and heart into their classrooms, creating environments where students feel comfortable trying new things and confident asking questions. These teachers don’t just teach content — they mentor, motivate, and inspire. They take the time to get to know their students, recognize their strengths, and help them see possibilities they may not have considered before.
CTAE classes at SCMHS are engaging and practical, giving students skills they can actually use. Whether students are exploring career options, building technical skills, or preparing for life after high school, CTAE teachers make learning meaningful and relevant. Lessons are connected to the real world, helping students understand not just what they’re learning, but why it matters.
The department also plays a huge role in building student confidence. Through our Career, Technical Student Organizations - FFA, HOSA, FBLA, CTI, and FGE - CTAE teachers encourage leadership, teamwork, and responsibility, pushing students to take pride in their work. They celebrate successes, support students through challenges, and never stop believing in their potential. That encouragement makes a lasting impact well beyond the classroom.
The CTAE department at SCMHS is a reflection of the dedication and passion of its teachers. Their commitment to students, their creativity in the classroom, and their genuine enthusiasm for education make this program an essential part of the school. Because of them, students leave CTAE not only with valuable skills but with confidence, direction, and a sense of purpose.
We appreciate these teachers pictured here and are proud to showcase a CTAE program that truly prepares students for success - wherever their paths may lead. #ctaedelivers

January Students and Employees of the Month
Celebrating CTAE… All Month Long!!
February is Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education (CTAE) Month, and SCMHS is excited to celebrate all month long! CTAE Month is a public awareness campaign designed to recognize the value, achievements, and impact of CTAE programs across the country.
Seminole CTAE kicked off the month with an informative presentation led by CTAE Director, Mrs. Kathryn Touchton, pictured here with Lions Club President, Jeremy Burke. During the presentation, Mrs. Touchton provided an overview of the many pathways offered and shared a glimpse into our new, state-of-the-art CTAE labs. These facilities were built to strengthen existing programs and better align coursework with local workforce needs.
The CTAE department also hosted tours for all 8th-grade students, giving them the opportunity to make informed decisions as they select their CTAE pathways for their high school years.
Be on the lookout for more CTAE information, activities, and highlights throughout the month as we celebrate this vital part of every high school in America, but especially here in Seminole County! #CTAEDelivers
