CTE represents the future for so many of our young people, and I am excited to continue building strong relationships that open doors, expand possibilities, and help students discover their purpose and potential.”
In his new role, Mr. Miller will oversee CTE programming that provides high school students across Saginaw County with hands-on, real-world learning experiences, preparing them for college, careers, and lifelong success. Serving as the county’s Career Education Planning District (CEPD) administrator, he will lead regional coordination of CTE programs, strengthen partnerships with industry and postsecondary institutions, and expand high-quality career pathways aligned with workforce needs in Saginaw County.
The Saginaw ISD community congratulates Joshua Miller on his new role and looks forward to the continued growth, innovation, and impact of Career and Technical Education under his leadership.
