Creekview Student Earns Highest Rank In Forensic League

Mitchell Ferguson earned the National Forensic League’s degree of Premier Distinction, the highest student degree in the honor society. A degree of Premier Distinction reflects sustained excellence in classroom activities, competition rounds and service projects. Students may earn points in six separate categories: speech, debate, congress, service, district, and national. Only about four hundred students out of NFL’s 112,000 student members receive the degree of Premier Distinction each year – about 1/3 of 1 percent.

Career and Technical Education in C-FB ISD

Career and Technical Education (CTE) in C-FB ISD is based on the premise that a rigorous academic foundation contributes to success in school and in life, that all students should be provided equal opportunities to succeed, and that career and technical education should complement and enhance academic preparation by enabling students to apply academic principles and technology skills to a variety of community and career situations. CTE classes provide an important link to opportunities outside the classroom which help engage students in learning.
