An auditorium filled with proud families await a ceremony in which students studying the trades are celebrated

The Career & Technical Education Student Recognition event held last week at the Alan D. Pole Campus in Norwich celebrated students in the CTE programs at DCMO BOCES. The standing room only audience learned about students' program completion as well as attainment of scholarships, certifications, endorsements, licensure, and other professional credentials. We’re proud of their achievements, and appreciate all who supported them along their paths.

We are proud of the Otselic Valley students who earned exceptional recognition.
