How a New CTE Campus Leveraged Its Partnerships to Unite a City
When AmTech Career Academy opened in the fall of 2021, in the heart of the pandemic, thousands of students rushed to enroll. The 235,000-square-foot CTE campus is not your average school, though: it features flight simulators, a robot/drone coliseum, an eSports arena, VR simulators for medicine and law and many more cutting-edge learning environments.
So how did the school district get this state-of-the-art school built, and how does it continue to grab national attention in only its second year?
Relationships that led to partnerships that keep opening more and more doors.
In this episode of the Storytelling for Schools podcast, host Dr. Amanda Holdsworth interviews Jay Barrett, the principal of AmTech Career Academy. He shares the behind-the-scenes story of how his district was able to envision and build what is arguably one of the top career and technical education schools in the country, and how their efforts united the City of Amarillo.
