CTE opened the door—hard work did the rest.
Meet Gabriel Ortiz, Donna High School Class of 2022 👏
A proud DHS CTE alumnus, Gabriel graduated with his Pharmacy Technician certification, setting the foundation for his future in healthcare.
Today, Gabriel is working as a Pharmacy Technician at Methodist Hospital in San Antonio while continuing his education at the University of the Incarnate Word, where he is majoring in Chemistry with an emphasis in Pre-Pharmacy 💊🧪. Through the opportunities provided by Donna High School CTE, Gabriel has been able to support his education while staying focused on his long-term career goals.
Gabriel’s journey is a powerful reminder that CTE opens doors—and hard work turns opportunity into success. We are incredibly proud of all he has accomplished and excited to see what the future holds for him.
✨ In honor of CTE Month, every Friday we will be highlighting DHS alumni who went through our CTE programs and are now making an impact.

🏫 Our Classrooms Are Training Grounds for the Workforce 🚓
Our students took learning beyond the textbook by conducting mock DWI traffic stops through a real-world simulation in our Criminal Justice classroom.

Full story: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BxRhZsctC/
Students worked in teams and rotated through key roles:
📻 Dispatcher
🚔 Police Officer
🚗 Driver
They practiced:
✅ Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFSTs)
✅ Proper radio communication and call-outs
✅ Scene control and teamwork
✅ Understanding arrest procedures and decision-making
This activity pushed students to communicate clearly, think critically, and perform under pressure—just like they will in the field.
We’re proud of how focused, professional, and engaged our students were today. This is what career-ready learning looks like at Donna High School. 💪🎓
