ACOVA HIGHLIGHTS
March Administrator Highlight
Marci Boettcher-CTE Director at Saddle Mountain Unified School District
For the month of March ACOVA is happy to highlight Marci Boettcher-CTE Director at Saddle Mountain Unified School District
Nominated by: Liz Giacovelli, Saddle Mountain Unified School District
Marci has been excellent since she has taken the roll of the CTE Director in Saddle Mountain. She supports the teachers and all programs, ensures they sign up for all training and events, helps organize Career to highlight CTE programs, and works with our College and Career teacher to educate freshmen about all programs to get students excited about alternate career paths.
Marci has volunteered to judge competitions for students throughout the year, has helped train multiple NEW CTE teachers to ensure our programming is stellar and even took students to State in the summer of 2023 when the Medical Assisting teacher resigned two weeks before the competition.
Our first TQI review under Marci's leadership received a 94.14% for the five programs we currently offer:
● Early Childhood Education
● Graphic Design
● Business Management
● Medical Assisting
● Software and App Design
● Construction
Congratulations to Marci Boettcher for being recognized as the ACOVA March Administrator Highlight!
Deadline for all nominations are due by May 30th.
