Dutchess BOCES

Important school events scheduled
The 2022-23 school year has less than a month to go.  Please mark your calendars for these important events.  We look forward to celebrating your children’s accomplishments.
 

In the first of many measures to bring more equity to the LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer) community, Dutchess BOCES’ Career & Technical Institute invited Dutchess County Pride Center Executive Director Karen Marder for two talks on May 10 to highlight the center’s services and to speak about LGBTQ matters.

CTI Instructor Erin Scott applied for a grant from the It Gets Better organization’s 50 States, 50 Grants initiative that will allocate up to $10,000 to fund projects that uplift, empower and connect LGBTQ youth in schools. Only one New York school district will be announced as the winner in June.

Thirty-two students from Dutchess BOCES’ Career & Technical Institute were made members of the National Technical Honor Society during an induction ceremony on May 4.

Chloe Yagastis arrived a few minutes late to the Pegasus 2023 Award Ceremony.
She was having her hair done in the Career & Technical Institute’s cosmetology class for the Pegasus Prom later in the day.

Two students in Dutchess BOCES’ Work-Based Learning Program, Jordan Terry and Alex Rivera have impressed just about everyone with their work ethic and detailed approach to their jobs.
