EHTNJCTE Summer Programs offered great fun and learning for middle schoolers this summer! The Esports program gave students a chance to learn games, compete, and manage a competition.
EHTNJCTE Our Summer Culinary Exploration Program Offered Some Students a First Time Cooking Experience While allowing others to enhance their novice culinary, sanitation, and food safety skills.
Our Summer STEAM programs allowed our 6th and 7th grade students to use the engineering design process to investigate, explore, and create prototypes. The students used material from slime to Jelly and circuits to explore concepts around Science.
Middle School students had the opportunity to explore all that AFJROTC has to offer. From character building to team building, drills, rocket creation, guest speakers, drills, and an ending ceremony, students were immersed in JROTC. The high school leadership team and instructors provided a great opportunity for students to explore the program before choosing it in high school.
Fernwood and Alder Middle Schools
Host Annual Financial Literacy Fair Events
​On May 28 and June 3, Fernwood and Alder Middle Schools hosted their annual Financial Literacy Fair, where 8th-grade students tackled real-world budgeting challenges. With guidance from their finance teachers, students chose careers, calculated monthly salaries, and made spending decisions on housing, transportation, and more—all while trying to stay within budget. High school volunteers from EHTHS’s Academy of Law and Business staffed booths and offered peer support, making the event both educational and fun. The fair continues to be a meaningful tradition that helps students build essential financial skills for the future.
Registration for the Summer 2025 CTE Programs is closed.
