What is your favorite part of teaching your program?
Teaching CTE ECE gives me the chance to inspire high school students to work in a field that involves young children after graduation. I get to show and expose them to a child's development from the time they are in a mother's womb to the time they become preschoolers. I love instilling my passion for ECE in my high school students!
Law & Public Safety
Mr. Procunier values the importance of connecting industry partners with the classroom. Recently, he invited Detective Mike Knee from the Arizona Department of Public Safety, Major Incident Division, to share insights about his career and daily life as a detective.
