???? Building Strong Maritime Connections for Hitchcock ISD’s Future CTE Program ????
Yesterday, Superintendent Travis W. Edwards and Hitchcock High School’s Ernest Trigo had the distinct honor of meeting Vice Admiral Nathan A. Moore, Commander of the Atlantic Area for the U.S. Coast Guard, aboard the V/M Sam Houston. This special invitation was a valuable opportunity for Mr. Edwards and Mr. Trigo to further strengthen Hitchcock ISD’s connections within the maritime industry—a pivotal step as we prepare to launch our Maritime Program in the new Fine Arts & CTE Center set to open this spring.
As a Navy veteran, Mr. Edwards was particularly honored to meet Vice Admiral Moore, who shared insights into the Coast Guard’s commitment to education and the development of maritime industry workforce initiatives. The meeting was not only inspiring but also promising, as discussions touched on the potential of a Coast Guard-based ROTC program at Hitchcock High School—a vision both Mr. Edwards and Mr. Trigo are eager to explore for our students’ future.
We are excited about the possibilities this partnership can bring to Hitchcock ISD, fostering hands-on learning and career opportunities within the maritime industry for our students. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to build pathways for our students’ success!
