Brevard Public Schools Celebrates CTE Internship Class of 2025-26

Brevard Public Schools' Career and Technical Education (CTE) program marked its Fifth Annual Recognition Ceremony on May 7 in Viera, honoring students who completed internships and On-the-Job Training experiences during the 2025-26 school year. CTE interns Lyla Maharramzade and Mei-Li Ramos served as emcees, representing the district's Work-Based Learning Specialist team. "This evening is a reflection of what is possible when education and industry come together to create meaningful opportunities for students and our community," they shared. Assistant Superintendent Tara Harris and Deputy Superintendent Sue Hann welcomed more than 200 student interns, their families, teachers, and local employers — recognizing sponsors and congratulating the CTE Internship Class of 2025-26. This year's interns represented career pathways including culinary arts, business and marketing, health sciences, automotive, construction, aviation, game and simulation design, early childhood education, digital media, and cybersecurity, among many others. A panel of graduating interns, employers, parents, and CTE teachers also shared reflections on the program's lasting impact on students' confidence and career readiness. The ceremony was made possible through the support of Parrish Health Network, Lexus of Melbourne, The Viera Company, Rush Construction, Health First, and Two Chicks & a Pot. Together, we are serving every student with excellence as a standard.
