CTE End-of-Year Advisory Event

Snoqualmie Valley School District celebrated students, staff, and community partners during the annual Career and Technical Education (CTE) End-of-Year Advisory Event, recognizing the collaboration and commitment that help prepare students for success beyond graduation.

The event brought together CTE teachers, industry advisors, and community partners who support programs across the district by sharing professional expertise, industry insight, and real-world experiences with students. Their partnership plays an important role in helping students explore career pathways, develop technical skills, and connect classroom learning to future opportunities.

During the event, CTE programs also recognized outstanding students from across multiple program areas. These students were honored for their leadership, dedication, growth, and achievement throughout the school year.

The district also recognized Amy Graham as the 2026 CTE Teacher of the Year.  In addition, the evening included a special recognition for Joe Dockery, who will retire at the end of the school year. Dockery was celebrated for his years of service, leadership, and lasting contributions to students and CTE programs across the district.

Families can download photos from the event on our Google Drive.
