Happy Friday, Tigers!
We hope you had a fantastic first week. We're so glad to have everyone back!
We’re excited to launch something new: CT Friday Fab 3.
Each week, we’ll highlight three great things happening in our school family in a short video. This idea has been brought to life by Jas Dickey, a former Cape Central High Tiger, SkillsUSA Nationals medalist, and now our video intern. 🎥 You may have seen her on a billboard around town for her SkillsUSA medal!
