Ulster BOCES means different things to different people. For Karina Rendon, a Highland Central School District graduate who attended the Ulster BOCES Culinary Arts program as a junior and senior, Ulster BOCES was the base ingredient in her recipe for a successful career as a pastry chef in the esteemed kitchen of one of the leading hotels in the world, the Fifth Avenue Hotel in Manhattan.
Earlier this summer, 2024 Saugerties High School graduate Eric Weisman achieved a remarkable milestone by earning his pilot's license at just 18 years old, a feat made possible through his high school coursework at the Ulster BOCES Career & Technical Center.
This summer, the theme for CITL at Port Ewen’s Extended School Year Program was "Time Travelers." Each week, students embarked on a journey to a different era, immersing themselves in the culture, history, and exciting adventures of various time periods.
