In November 2012, Calvert County Public Schools received a $5,000 grant to create a partnership with the local public library aimed at promoting Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs. The partnership facilitated community outreach through a kickoff event featuring keynote speakers, including Dr. Grasmick and school officials. Three evening events showcased various technical programs. Funds were utilized for promotional materials and event refreshments. Activities included presentations for tenth graders, field trips, and collaboration with counselors to boost enrollment in CTE programs.
