The first ever Engineering Academy Guidance Board Scholarship was recently awarded at the 2026 North Ed Career Tech Awards night, and we are thrilled to share that our inaugural recipient is Luke Schlegel!

Luke is a graduate from TC Central and will be attending the NMC 2+2 program, then continuing to LSSU to pursue Robotics Engineering.

Seeing Luke receive this award is a direct testament to the hard work, vision, and dedication of the Engineering Academy Guidance Board over many, many years. The impact of this work doesn't stop with Luke.

This scholarship is officially endowed with the North Ed Foundation, creating a permanent foundation of support. Every single year moving forward, another Engineering Academy student will receive this scholarship.

Thank you to the Engineering Academy Guidance Board for your time, your passion, and your unwavering commitment to the future of our Engineering Academy students.

The 40th Annual National Robotics Challenge (NRC) was one for the history books! North Ed Career Tech’s Engineering Academy sent 7 senior teams, plus 13 junior teams, competing in eight unique events and earning the following honors:

- Silver Award: Sumo Robot & Honda Innovation Nomination
- Bronze Award: Micromouse Contest
- Bronze Award: Box Bot Contest

In addition to the events awards, soon-to-be retiring Engineering Academy Instructor, Debby Oliver, was recognized for her years of service, having only missed three years of the NRC since 2004.

Thank you to all of the students, instructors, chaperones and supporters who made NRC 2026 such a smashing success!

Each year, Mentor Match Day brings excitement to the North Ed Career Tech Engineering Academy as juniors are paired with professionals from the local design, engineering and business community.
This mentorship program helps students form meaningful connections with industry professionals while developing key communication and workplace skills. Mentors are thoughtfully matched with students based on career goals, hobbies and shared interests. Recently, we hosted a breakfast for the junior class, where 31 students were matched with their mentors.
Every junior in the Engineering Academy participates in the program, which continues through their senior year. Mentorship activities are integrated into English classes, and students meet with their mentors once a month. The program is overseen by dedicated staff who coordinate the annual Mentor Breakfast, manage volunteer forms and prepare mentor journals at the end of the year.
We are deeply grateful to all our volunteer mentors, whose guidance and commitment often play a pivotal role in shaping the students’ future paths. Thank you for making a lasting impact on the next generation of engineers and innovators.
