U.S. Presidential Scholars Program Nominations
Submitted by Cathie Raymond, Arizona Dept. of Education
The U.S. Presidential Scholars in Career and Technical Education Program recognizes and honors up to 20 students each year, on the basis of outstanding scholarship and demonstrated ability and accomplishment in Career and Technical Education. Each state can nominate 5 candidates for recognition for excellence in Career and Technical Education through the Chief State School Officer (CSSO-Superintendent of Public Instruction office).
A review team of CTE Stakeholders (representatives from ACOVA, ACTEAZ, JTED, Counselors, Postsecondary, business and industry and ADE/CTE) reviewed the applications and supporting documentation on the specific standards and selected the top 5 nominations to submit to the Superintendent/Communications office.
