Students from New Visions Engineering, TST BOCES Career and Tech Machining & Manufacturing, and TST PTECH spent the day networking with local industry leaders and exploring cutting-edge tech.
A special shoutout to our P-TECH program, who stepped up also as exhibitors, hosting interactive demos with Drone Soccer and Student Enterprise to show visiting school districts what real innovation looks like in the classroom! ⚡

The spotlight was on our students as they brought Camaraderie to the field during our school-wide flag football game, Communication and Commitment to the hallways with a CSI forensics lab, and Courage right in front of our eyes while listening to a speaker's inspiring story of overcoming obstacles on her hike through the Appalachian Trail.
Big moments, big heart, and an amazing school community. This is RAS! 💙

New York State Education Department Commissioner Dr. Betty A. Rosa, Senator Lea Webb and Assemblymember Anna Kelles recently joined TST BOCES and Cornell Engineering leaders to learn how our 12th-grade students are suiting up and gaining hands-on experience inside the Cornell NanoScale Facility!
The visit showcased the ATLAS Program, the growing need for a skilled semiconductor workforce and how the partnership between TST BOCES and Cornell University is already bringing pieces of NYS’s Portrait of a Graduate to life.

We made the most fun memories this year with our Summer School students!
Our Snack Shack crew helped everyone cool off with a Water Play Day full of bubbles, a slip and slide and sensory fun. 💦
Then, our students took a trip around the Smith School “globe” for World Cup Flavor, sampling recipes prepared by classes representing countries from around the world! 🌎
Learning, exploring and having plenty of fun along the way. That’s what Summer School is all about! 💙
