Lake Region State College Celebrates CTE
DEVILS LAKE - Each February the nation celebrates Career and Technical Education or CTE.
Lake Region State College usually holds an in-person CTE Day. With this year’s COVID guidelines that event is being placed in a virtual format and is scheduled for later this semester.
