🐝 Learning That Sticks: CHS Beekeeping Students Take CTE to the Field 🐝

At Carthage High School, Career & Technical Education means real-world learning beyond the classroom walls — and our Beekeeping students are living proof!

On October 16th, Mrs. Ashley Harris and her Beekeeping class visited the Texas A&M AgriLife Research Center in Overton, TX, where students gained hands-on experience working with honey bees. They examined common diseases and pests, practiced queen bee marking, conducted hive inspections, and even processed honey 🍯 — seeing agriculture and science come to life!

A heartfelt thank-you to Dr. Garrett Slater and Ms. Heather McBride for sharing their expertise, and to Mrs. Harris for her dedication to providing our students with unique, high-impact CTE learning experiences that prepare them for future success.
