Last Thursday, our Career & Technical Education (CTE) Department along with a number of team members from MCESA, Coleman School District, and community volunteers presented 8th and 11th grade students in Coleman with the Reality Store program. Reality Store is an event where students attend a "station" style game of real life; they pick a career, receive a salary, and navigate through a month of paying bills and reacting to events in their adult life. This is just one of the opportunities that our CTE department provides students with to connect career interests with educational requirements and economics realities of the future!
