April 2023

From the Principal's Office - March, and in particular these past two weeks, has been full of activities and opportunities for Bulldogs! Time and energy invested by students and staff this year is bearing fruit, so we want to dedicate this month's newsletter to celebrating the many learning experiences that define Cashmere High School.

WSU Visit - 30 Bulldogs will travel with Ms. Gemeinhart and Mr. Theiss to WSU on April 19th at part of an "Imagine Experience".  We believe that putting students on a college campus and providing them with a vision of themselves as college students is an important part of the post-high school pathway development.  This will be the first of many in the coming years as we reconnect in person with our partner technical schools, colleges and universities.

Summer Tech Program - Wenatchee Tech Center is offering a summer academy for its programs between June 19th and July 7th.   PROGRAMS OFFERED IN THE PAST INCLUDE: AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY, DIGITAL MEDIA ARTS, COLLISION REPAIR, CONSTRUCTION TRADES, COSMETOLOGY, CRIMINAL JUSTICE, FIRE FIGHTING SCIENCE, VIDEO GAME DESIGN and CULINARY ARTS. Application to programs open April 1st. For more information go HERE

Internship - This semester, we have 20 student interns working in various capacities in the community with professionals to learn more about their career interests, network, and develop skills that will support their goals.  We are grateful to our growing network of community partners invested in mentoring Bulldogs! Juniors and Seniors interested in earning credits through an applied learning experience with a professional in a field that represents a possible career path should consider an internship as we move into the course registration process.
