North Stokes High School

⚙️🔬💻 Happy CTE Month, Vikings! 🛠️📚🩺

February is Career & Technical Education Month, and we are shining the spotlight on the incredible CTE teachers at North Stokes High School! 🌟

Our CTE programs do more than teach classes — they prepare students for careers, certifications, college pathways, and real-world success. From hands-on labs to industry skills, our teachers are building tomorrow’s workforce right here at North Stokes. 💙

Whether it’s healthcare, technology, trades, business, or skilled craftsmanship, our CTE educators are helping students discover passions, develop talents, and step confidently into their futures.

👏 Thank you to our dedicated CTE teachers for your innovation, mentorship, and commitment to student success. You truly make learning come alive!

Vikings are career-ready because of YOU!

💚🎓 National School Counseling Week | February 2–6, 2026 🎓💚

This week, we are proud to celebrate and deeply appreciate our amazing school counselors at North Stokes High School!

National School Counseling Week recognizes the vital impact school counselors have on student success, academic planning, career readiness, and emotional well-being. Sponsored by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), this year’s theme — “School Counselors Amplify Student Success” — could not be more fitting.

Our counselors go above and beyond every day to support our students through one-on-one counseling, classroom lessons, college and career guidance, and so much more. Their dedication, compassion, and commitment help shape confident, capable, and successful Vikings.

💚 Thank you for being advocates, listeners, motivators, and champions for our students. North Stokes is better because of you! 💚
