Shooting for the Stars: CTE student spotlight

HUTTO — At Hutto Independent School District, success isn’t just an aspiration, it’s reality. Stories of students like Deborah Gandy illuminate the transformative power of Hutto ISD’s Career and Technical Education programs. These initiatives equip students with certifications, preparing them for immediate employment or providing a competitive edge in college admissions.

In the realm of College, Career and Military Readiness, Hutto ISD stands out among its peers. Recent data from the 2022 school year revealed an impressive 79.5% of graduates with CCMR indicators, surpassing the state average of 70%. This statistic speaks volumes about the District’s commitment to preparing students for life beyond high school.

As a young child, Gandy’s initial exposure to engineering was through her stepfather’s work. Her passion was further fueled during visits to Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, and space camp at Space Center Houston. Inspired by the rich history of space exploration and the remarkable achievements of women in the aerospace industry, she embarked on a personal mission to carve her own path in this field.
