CACC Outstanding Students Announced
The Outstanding Student Award is the highest recognition Columbia Public Schools’ Columbia Area Career Center bestows.
Awards are granted to students who are the rising stars within their career and technical education programs. This recognition is made possible through our partnership with the University of Missouri – Operations department and the CPS Partner in Education Program.
Winning students and two guests were invited to join CACC on Tuesday, May 10, 2022, at the Missouri Theatre for a recognition ceremony.
Congratulations, to all our winners and their families! Photos of the evening are available on the CACC website (linked).
