CTE Academy Stories - Meet Carter Wild

Get inspired to make a gift to the CTE Academy Capital Campaign!

Carter attended the CTE Academy’s Criminal Justice Program during his junior & senior year in 2016-17. Thanks to this program, Carter graduated with college credit towards his degree.

The Criminal Justice Program gave Carter a head start on his career. Here’s how Carter put it “The CTE Academy helped me figure out what I was passionate about, got me ready for college, and graduate early into a career!”

Today, Carter is a Probation Officer in Jo Daviess County working with adults in our justice system.

Now YOU can help more students just like Carter by making a donation to the Career Technical Education Academy. Right now, your donation in any amount will be matched, thanks to a generous local donor.
