Engineering/Robotics, Floral, Ag Mechanics (welding), Culinary Arts, Video/Game Design, Architecture, Health Science/HOSA, and A/V Production (multimedia). The hour-long tour allowed students to explain the basic details of each program and to answer questions. One guest was so impressed with the tour she suggested a greater outreach is needed. “I feel like children in the intermediate schools and their parents should attend a tour like this,” said Tiesha Hartmann, who has a son attending Clemens and another at Dobie Junior High School. “It’s refreshing to

have the opportunity to see what is going on past the website and social media pages.” As if to add an exclamation point to the tour, Clemens Culinary Arts students, under the direction of Amanda Tharp, provided lunch, including a cajun chicken pasta entree and a pecan praline cheesecake as dessert, for the Leadership SCUC participants. Suzanne Vance is convinced about the program and the need for group advocacy in public education. “To see these kids, and to see their passion about what they’re learning. They’re amazing,” she said. “I love our district.”
