The National Registry Emergency Medical Technician (NR-EMT) program prepares students with the knowledge and hands-on skills needed to respond to medical emergencies, provide patient care, and serve on the front lines of emergency medical services. Completing this rigorous coursework is a tremendous accomplishment and an important step toward careers in healthcare and emergency response.

We are incredibly proud of the hard work, dedication, and commitment these students have shown throughout the program. Their achievement reflects the outstanding opportunities available through Career & Technical Education at Rudyard Jr/Sr High School.

Congratulations to Rudyard student Koel Bird for representing our school in the Michigan Department of Education’s first Deaf/Hard of Hearing Art Contest!

Koel entered his handcrafted wooden project, The Hammer of Thor, which he created in his CTE Cabinetry and Furniture Manufacturing class at Rudyard Jr/Sr High School. His artwork was mailed to the MDE and placed on display at the art museum in Lansing as part of the statewide exhibition and celebration of student artists.

Out of only 12 students across the entire state of Michigan selected to have artwork featured in the contest, Koel proudly represented Rudyard and was also one of just four students to receive the prestigious “Judge’s Choice” Award!

We are incredibly proud of Koel’s creativity, craftsmanship, and accomplishment. Congratulations on this outstanding achievement!

CTE Regional Millage Renewal – May 5th

On May 5th, voters across the Eastern Upper Peninsula will have the opportunity to renew the Career and Technical Education (CTE) Regional Millage, an investment that supports programming in 19 schools and provides students with real-world skills and career pathways.

This millage plays a vital role in expanding opportunities for students by supporting programs in skilled trades, healthcare, manufacturing, and more. It helps fund student transportation to regional CTE sites, work-based learning experiences, job shadowing, and industry tours. It also allows students to participate in career and technical student organizations and earn valuable industry-recognized certifications and credentials.

At Rudyard Jr/Sr High School, the impact of this millage over the past 10 years has been significant. Since its creation, we have been able to start and grow a wide range of programs that prepare students for both college and careers.

Currently, five programs at Rudyard are fully supported through this funding:
• CTE Cabinetry & Furniture Manufacturing
• CTE Mechatronics & Robotics
• CTE Education
• CTE Allied Health: EMT
• CTE Agriculture

Looking ahead, we are excited about the potential expansion of our CTE Allied Health program to include Sports Medicine in Fall 2027. In addition, we are exploring future programming opportunities, including Plumbing, Cosmetology, Graphic Design & Photography, and Automotive Technology. Our long-term vision is to develop a centralized regional career center hub that will serve students across our area.

CTE also strengthens student leadership and engagement through professional organizations. At Rudyard, we are proud of the strong involvement in groups like: MITES, Square One Robotics, HOSA (Health Professionals), and FFA (Ag). These organizations give students opportunities to compete, lead, and grow beyond the classroom.
Creating a strong college and career-focused culture at Rudyard is essential to the sustainability of our community. Over the past decade, nearly 500 Rudyard students have completed one or more CTE programs, and today, almost 60% of our students are on track to do the same.

CTE is for everyone, whether students plan to enter the workforce directly or pursue higher education. They provide practical, hands-on skills that translate into lifelong success.

The CTE Regional Millage has made all of this possible, and its renewal will ensure that these opportunities continue to grow for future generations.
