👏 Shout-out to Our Computer Science Classroom Interns! 👏Our talented CS interns have been working hard behind the scenes all year—designing, printing, and assembling awards that help celebrate the incredible accomplishments of others across our school and community. From wrestling certificates and senior ornaments to trophies for Mr. & Miss TCHS and the TCFEE Foundation Apple Awards, these students have poured creativity, care, and precision into every project—and there’s still more to come! This hands-on learning experience teaches more than just tech skills. These students are building portfolios, practicing service leadership, managing real orders and deadlines, and working as a team to deliver professional results that truly matter. We’ll be sharing final photos of each award set after the ceremonies, but here are a few snapshots from projects already completed. Thank you, interns, for using your talents to help others shine! 💻🏆💙 #HandsOnLearning #ServiceLeadership #RecognizingExcellence #CTAEinAction #TCHSInterns #BuildingSkills #TeamworkMatters #4theT #CTAEdelivers #LetsGrowTogether
