On October 18, 2024, the Southern Adirondack Pathways in Technology Early College High School (PTECH) program brought together more than 100 ninth and 10th grade students from across the region to attend an event celebrating and promoting Manufacturing & STEAM Pathways.

October is National Bullying Prevention Awareness Month. Each year, WSWHE BOCES students and staff come together for several Unity Day (and week) activities.

Approximately 600 11th and 12th grade students from the Washington-Saratoga-Warren-Hamilton-Essex BOCES (WSWHE BOCES) Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs, along with Exceptional Learners Division (ELD) students and staff, participated in Operation Guard X on Oct. 3. The event, sponsored by the New York Army National Guard (NYARNG) and held at the F. Donald Myers Education Center offered students an engaging opportunity to explore various careers in service-related industries, including interactions with professionals from law enforcement, fire departments, and emergency medical services.

Normally the Gerald B.H. Solomon Saratoga National Cemetery in Schuylerville is a quiet and peaceful place. On September 18 it was a buzz of activity as Environmental Conservation & Forestry Instructor Dennis Flynn and 16 of his students joined professional arborists from around the state and Vermont for the 10th Annual Saluting Branches Day of Service, one of 100 sites in the national event.

“Mission accomplished,” said WSWHE BOCES District Superintendent Dr. Turina Parker as she spoke to campers, parents and other key partners at the Girls Construction Summer Camp which was aimed at breaking down gender barriers in the construction industry and fostering a new generation of empowered builders.

“Your next job is to dream big and keep trying new things. You can do anything,” said Dr. Parker.
