Jordan School District Students Dig In to Profession-Based Experiences at Utah Governor’s Mansion

Jordan School District’s Landscape Architecture students recently launched our new Profession-Based Experiences program at the "Governor’s Mansion Goes Waterwise" initiative! Led by JATC instructor Margaret Ward, students are partnering with Cynthia Bee from Slow the Flow this year to cultivate water-wise plants in the JATC Greenhouse. They will plant these native, drought-tolerant species next spring as part of Phase 2 at the Governor’s Mansion. Last week, these same students volunteered their time planting as part of the "Flip the Strip" in Phase 1 of the water-wise initiative.

Why CTE? The Bottom Line: CTE classes don't teach you what to think; they teach you how to do.
