She had attended culi- nary school and was work- ing as a pastry chef. “She was a master in her subject area by virtue of doing it,” Roberts said. They were able to secure licensing for her. The same applies to the new industrial arts teacher. The prospective hire will be able to start in late August, with a preliminary or restrictive license and a three-year plan to become fully licensed in the state. Interested applicants can contact Roberts or go to the school district’s website for more details on the job. That entails taking some additional courses, not in construction or woodwork- ing, but to learn things such as instructional tech- niques, curriculum devel- opment, and how to design lesson plans and student Katherine Lacaze Students work on projects in the woodshop at Seaside High School. This career and technical education program prepares students for construction and woodworking jobs. assessments. Between Corliss and his predecessor Larry Smith, the industrial arts program has operated at the high school for nearly 50 years. The school continues to see a high demand for this program, along with its other two career technical education off erings: culinary arts and marketing and busi- ness management. Addi- tionally, the graduation rate among students who com- plete the programs is “sig- nifi cantly higher” than that of the general population. “We often talk about look- ing for things that engage kids,” Roberts said. “For some, we know that it might be music. For some, we know it’s sports. For some, we know it’s student government. For a lot of our kids, it’s their CTE program. … The students we see fully engaged in CTE are often some of our most suc- cessful students.” In general, the programs off er an alternative for stu- dents who aren’t interested in pursuing higher educa- tion, Corliss said. They get a jump-start on learning appli- cable jobs skills for enter- ing the workforce or getting additional training to secure living-wage jobs. Often, the programs are centered around the needs of the community. For exam- ple, hospitality is a major economic driver on the North Coast, along with construction, which makes the culinary arts and indus- trial arts programs benefi - cial. Business and marketing are also applicable for those — and most — industries. Students may not exit high school with all the skills they need, but they’ll be ahead of the game, with knowledge on how to operate power equip- ment and concepts related to building residential or com- mercial structures. The school has numer- ous community partners who help the students get hands-on experience by going to job sites. “We’re doing a lot with our community,” Corliss said, referencing companies such as Coaster Construc- tion, White’s Heating and Sheet Metal, and Coastal Restoration. “Between all of them, they’ll let me know what they’re doing,” and those become valuable opportunities for students. BRIEFS Suzanne Elise elevates COVID-19 protection Suzanne Elise, an Ava- mere assisted living com- munity in Seaside, is install- ing Far-UVC lights to fi ght airborne viruses, including COVID-19. Far-UVC has only been utilized in the acute care fi eld for the last 12 months, and Suzanne Elise is currently the only Oregon senior liv- ing community installing this technology through Direct Supply. Suzanne Elise is having 29 lights installed in their common and high-traf- fi c areas, including the lobby, dining room, kitchen, bath- rooms and hallways. UVC Cleaning Systems, Inc., the manufacturer work- ing with Direct Supply, will install Far-UVC at Suzanne Elise. The lights, which do not emit visible light, will be installed in the ceiling tiles on the fi rst fl oor and within the sheetrock on the second fl oor. They will run 24/7, killing airborne diseases and bacteria. Far-UVC lights are fi l- tered rays safe for human contact, compared to ultra- violet rays, both of which protect against airborne dis- eases. Far-UVC kills bacte- ria over time, from 90% to nearly 100% reduction. This update elevates Suzanne Elise’s protection against COVID-19 and other diseases. Last year Suzanne Elise installed needlepoint ionization, which neutralizes airborne diseases. Suzanne Elise obtained $100,000 for the update through the Oregon Depart- ment of Human Services long-term care capital infra- structure improvement grant.
