Nick Lebo champions CTE programs and impact of teaching in Austin ISD

Nick Lebo, a dedicated educator at Austin High School, passionately advocates for the importance of Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs in Austin ISD. With 14 years of teaching experience, including six years at Austin High, Lebo emphasizes the diverse opportunities available for students, from business and culinary arts to welding and automotive studies.

In a recent government meeting, Lebo highlighted the significance of CTE in shaping students' futures. "There’s something for every single parent and kid in AISD," he stated, underscoring the variety of programs designed to meet different interests and career paths. His commitment to public education is deeply personal; as a proud product of Austin ISD himself, he believes in the transformative power of education.

Lebo urged new teachers to recognize their potential impact on students' lives, encouraging them to build relationships and inspire greatness. "You have the opportunity to make an impact on a kid's life," he said, reinforcing the idea that educators can influence not just individual students but entire family legacies.

As the CTE department chair, Lebo's insights reflect a broader commitment within Austin ISD to provide meaningful educational choices that prepare students for successful futures. His call to action for teachers to inspire and connect with their students resonates as a vital message for the community.
