Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) Schools has never had a Director of Career and Technical Education (CTE).  That all changed Wednesday night when the school board officially approved the appointment of Brandon Cloud to the newly-created post.

This is part of an ongoing program by HSE Schools for graduates to be prepared for employment, post-secondary education, or enlistment in the armed services.

“This role is essential to continuing the transformational work that we have started, ensuring our students have access to opportunities that connect learning to real-world applications,” said Superintendent Patrick Mapes in a school district news release.. “I believe Brandon Cloud’s proven leadership within the district and his passion for helping students reach their goals in and outside of the classroom make him the ideal choice for this position.”

Cloud brings nearly three decades of experience in public education to the role, with more than half spent working in HSE
