Durfee CTE Middle School Open House
Durfee High School’s CTE Department hosted its Open House last week, welcoming middle schoolers from across Fall River to explore all that Career & Technical Education has to offer.
With 10 CTE programs on display, more than 100 families were lined up at the doors as the event kicked off. Visitors toured each program—some even guided by current CTE students, who not only led fantastic tours but also answered questions from families and future Hilltoppers.
