As students and teachers return to school, The Chronicle takes a deeper look at Career and Technical Education in Springfield, Cottage Grove, Pleasant Hill, and Creswell. This series was made possible in part by donations to The Chronicle Foundation and the Fund for Oregon Rural Journalism (FORJ).

“I never ask the question now, ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’ I say, ‘What are you interested in pursuing?’” says Amanda Hoggard, her voice full of enthusiasm as she enters her seventh year of teaching.

Hoggard has a front-row seat to those pursuits, thanks to her role as an instructor for two different Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs at Creswell High School, which has a student population of more than 350.
