Mustang CTE

Alumni & Supporters Meeting 5/19 @ 6pm

City View CTE is excited to officially welcome two outstanding additions to the Mustang family for the 2026-2027 school year. Please join us in welcoming Mr. Roy Villanueva as our new Certified Clinical Medical Assistant teacher. We are also excited to welcome Mrs. Tandy Roberts, who will be launching our Dual Credit Business Program while also leading the revitalization of the City View CTE School Store. We are excited for the impact their experience and leadership will have on our students and thankful to have both of them joining City View CTE as they signed their contracts this afternoon. The future is bright for Mustang CTE. #itsabetterviewasamustang

What an incredible night celebrating another amazing year for City View FFA 💙💛

Our annual banquet was the perfect way to wrap up the school year as we reflected on the accomplishments, memories, and growth of our members. The evening began with performances from Kadence White and Kay Smith while dinner was prepared, followed by an inspiring keynote message from past Texas FFA Association State President Isaac Hawkins.

Throughout the night, we recognized students for their participation in LDEs, CDEs, SDEs, and SAE projects, celebrated our Greenhand members, honored those receiving their Lone Star Degrees this July at the Texas FFA State Convention, and recognized Lillian Klein for advancing in her Food Science Proficiency Award. We were also proud to hear Madelynn Hopkins and Isabella Lopez present the English and Spanish FFA Creeds.

We also had the honor of presenting Superintendent Jesse Thomas with the Outstanding Support Award and are so thankful for our FFA Alumni Association for providing scholarships and livestock add-ons to support our students.

To close the evening, we retired our 2025-2026 chapter officers and installed the 2026-2027 officer team. Thank you to everyone who helped make this year one to remember. The future of City View FFA is bright! ✨

One of my favorite parts about Teen Topics is getting to watch students use their voice, creativity, and story to make an impact beyond the walls of our classroom. Huge congratulations to Ariya Contreras for being selected as a winner in the Serenity House Regional Poster Contest! We are incredibly proud of her and the work she created. Moments like this matter because they remind students that what they think, what they create, and who they are has value. Way to go, Ariya. Your City View family is proud of you.
