On March 5, Career, Technical and Agricultural Education department teacher Nestor Domingo assisted with CTAE night, an exhibition of the work graphic design, agriculture and robotics students have done throughout the year. “It was on Tuesday night at the gladiator gallery. (There were graphic design) displays, the robots and engineering department had displays of the robots, and there (were) agriculture displays (done) by the agriculture department,” Domingo said.

On March 8, the CTAE department hosted CTAE night, a night dedicated to showcasing work done in CTAE classes.
On March 5, the Career, Technical and Agricultural Education department hosted the first CTAE night at Clarke Central high school. CTAE night is a night devoted to displaying student work from graphic design, agriculture and robotics. CTAE and Gladius yearbook adviser Nestor Domingo assisted with the setup of the night.
“I was a part of the graphic design program, we just assembled and printed out graphic design work from students,” Domingo said.
Domingo believes the night went well but would have liked to see higher attendance.
“I think it went well, it was small this year because it was our first time doing it, it’s a way for us to reach out to the community and our advisory committees, so hopefully as we continue to do it it’ll get bigger and bigger, but it was manageable, so that was good. We had a mixture of parents and advisory committee people,” Domingo said.
FFA president Jordan Butler, a senior, was also in attendance and showcased agriculture projects from the previous year.
“I showcased my FFA Ag-Science project that I created for last year for my Ag-Science fair at the state convention in Macon, Georgia. I kinda showed off what my project was about and what am I gonna do with that project later on in life. My project was on the barriers of composting in urban areas, I talked about how I was gonna use the results of my survey from that into an ag education internship I’m doing next year to teach students about composting,” Butler said.
Butler, like Domingo, believes the night went well but believes it would have gone better with more community members in attendance.
“I think it went pretty well, it was very chill. I was enjoying the company of the CTAE department and the people within that. I think it could have gotten a bit more publicity and people involved to participate in the night. We mainly had mainly parents of the students which I think is a great thing, but like, we should have had community members come in to get informed about it. I think we should showcase everything because this is what our future is gonna be about (these CTAE classes). Our future depends on them,” Butler said.
