Dr. Lowe

The Connecticut Technical Education and Career System (CTECS) community is a family. Success is a by-product of our commitment to working together and respecting each other. My vision is to lead CTECS toward being the primary workforce pipeline for the state of Connecticut and prepare students with the skills they need for lifelong success. Moreover, I am committed to developing, nurturing, and sustaining a culture that provides one of the best high school experiences anywhere throughout the state.

I believe the following core values are key to our growth as a school system. I look forward to working with all of you and sharing in the pursuit of learning, collaboration, and excellence.

Culture of Learning: CTECS will be a place where the climate provides personalized learning for every student, with a focus on improving the instructional core. We will raise the level of student achievement through a relentless focus on school culture and climate.

Culture of Collaboration: CTECS will be a place where all stakeholders work together and take ownership in developing and sustaining a vibrant student-centered learning environment. We will work collectively to increase the level of students’ engagement and connectedness with their school community.

Culture of Excellence: CTECS will be a place where academic, personal, and professional excellence is an expectation for all and a place where everyone is treated with respect, fairness, and appreciation. We will develop a cultural belief that all students can learn and achieve at high levels. We will celebrate our successes.

Sincerely,

Dr. Justin Lowe
Interim Superintendent of Schools
Connecticut Technical Education and Career System
