🖥️ LPHS Students Build Digital Skills with 56 WordPress Certifications Earned! 🎉

Lake Placid High School is proud to celebrate 56 students who have earned their WordPress WCE Industry Certification this year! 🐉

This exciting certification, offered through our Business Education CTE courses, gives students hands-on experience designing, building, and editing websites using WordPress—one of the most widely used platforms in the world. In fact, WordPress powers a significant portion of websites across industries, from small businesses and blogs to major companies and organizations. 🌐

Through CTE, our students are gaining real-world, career-ready skills that go beyond the classroom. From digital design to web development, these opportunities prepare students for college, careers, and industry certifications that set them apart.

👏 Congratulations to our certified students for their hard work and dedication—and to our teachers for continuing to create meaningful, future-focused learning experiences!

We’re proud to celebrate our students who recently passed their Industry Certification exams in Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop—earning the Adobe Certified Professional in Visual Design certification! 💻✨

Each student successfully completed two rigorous exams this year, demonstrating their creativity, technical skills, and dedication to mastering industry-level tools. This is no small feat, and we couldn’t be more impressed with their hard work!

Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs like Digital Design give students the opportunity to gain real-world skills, industry-recognized credentials, and a competitive edge for college and careers. These certifications open doors and show that our students are ready to succeed beyond the classroom.
