4 facts that prove CTE works
1. CTE programs serve 94% of all high school students
2. The average high school graduation rate for students concentrating in CTE programs is 93%
3. A person with a CTE-related associate degree or credential will earn on average $4,000-19,000 more a year than a person with a humanities associate degree

Students in the Crossroads Crafting club used their talents and the laser engraver to create personalized Valentine's gifts.
These were a big hit. The Crafters will be creating more fun items in the coming months and are already hard at work on some ideas for graduation items. Contact Mrs. Dever at DeverJ@ccisd.com for details, information or to donate materials.
Thank you to our school marshal. Officer Ragland.
We appreciate all you do to keep us safe.
Celebrate CTE Month with Crossroads
We offer many Career and Technical Education courses through our CTE Teacher Mrs. Morgan.
Here she tried the technology trend on ChatGPT to create this caricature of herself.
Did you know that the Cellular car phone, Elevator and Ice Cream were all invented by African Americans?
Other items include the refrigerator, baby buggy, traffic light, peanut butter, electric lamp, corn harvester, guitar, mop, fire extinguisher, potato chips, gas mask and the blood plasma bag. So many inventions we can't imagine life without today.
"Imagine if we all held on to our happiness the way we hold on to our pain."

Congratulations Mr. Brown and Thank you for all you do to support and encourage our students to succeed.
CCISD buses will run at their normal time, and breakfast will be served at its normal time at every campus. Parents are encouraged to ensure their student is dressed warmly for the day.
Once students and staff return tomorrow, the district will begin a review of whether any changes to the academic calendar are required alongside district staff and the Board of Trustees. If so, those will communicated with families as soon as possible.
Due to continued hazardous conditions on roadways, an an abundance of precipitation on the roadways projected to refreeze across Copperas Cove, Copperas Cove ISD schools and offices will remain closed out of an abundance of caution on Wednesday, January 28, 2026.
Activities scheduled for Wednesday will be rescheduled for a later date.
CCISD leadership has continued to evaluate road conditions across our community, as well as the forecast which includes more freezing temperatures, and while major roadways have improved, too many neighborhood, rural and hill-side streets remain covered in ice. Many school parking lots and entryways remain covered in ice, as well. We've included several photos in this post taken earlier this afternoon.
Given the state of the roads and school parking lots, it is not safe to ask our bus drivers to report in the early morning hours to run routes in these conditions, nor to ask the several-hundred student and parent drivers to commute to school in the morning.
Copperas Cove ISD expects to be able to reopen on Thursday, January 28, 2026, but will continue to evaluate and communicate with the appropriate agencies to ensure it is safe to do so. Once CCISD is able to safely return to school, we will work alongside district staff and the Board of Trustees to evaluate if a change needs to be made to the academic calendar. If so, those will be communicated with families as soon as possible.
“I know this extended closure may create challenges for families,” said Superintendent Dr. Brent Hawkins. “Thank you for your patience, support, and understanding as we put the safety of everybody in our school community first. We look forward to a safe return to school as soon as possible.”
All school activities will be rescheduled for a later date.
