The Brocton Central School District is excited to announce that February is Career and Technical Education Month.
This month, we highlight the importance of career and technical education (CTE) in preparing students for successful futures. Through various programs and initiatives through the Brocton Central School District and Erie 2-BOCES, students have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience and develop skills that are critical in today's fast-paced and ever-evolving job market.
Our goal is to inspire students to explore various career options and understand the value of technical skills in conjunction with academic knowledge.
Join us in celebrating the achievements of our students and educators in CTE, and let's work together to build a brighter future for all!

As we step into the new year, the Brocton Central School District would like to take a moment to highlight a crucial issue that deserves our attention and action: January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month. This observance serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing fight against human trafficking, a crime that affects millions of individuals around the world, including in our own communities.
Human trafficking is not merely a distant problem; it is a stark reality that can manifest in various forms, including sex trafficking, labor trafficking, and exploitation of vulnerable populations.
Throughout this month, the Brocton Central School District urges the community to join the effort to raise awareness about this pressing issue. Simple actions, such as sharing information on social media, attending local awareness events, or volunteering with organizations working to combat trafficking, can make a significant difference.
