On March 8, Brookfield Central Senior and Cadet Colonel, Olga Boukhvalova, was honored with a General Carl A. Spaatz Award. After being nominated earlier in the year by both Senator Ron Johnson and US Representative Jim Sensenbrenner, the award was presented to Boukhvalova by Governor Scott Walker in a private ceremony with Wisconsin Wing Commander Colonel Rose Hunt.
The Spaatz Award is Civil Air Patrol (CAP)'s highest honor, and only five out of one thousand cadets (or 0.5%) that join CAP ever achieve this award during their service as a cadet. The award is given to CAP cadets that pass the necessary exam and meet the appropriate criteria in the categories of leadership, fitness, aerospace, activity participation, and moral character.
Cadet Col. Boukhvalova has been accepted to both the US Air Force and Naval Academies.
Milwaukee Tool and the Waukesha County Technical College (WCTC) have been named the recipients of the District’s 2024 Excellence in a Community Partnership award! This award will be presented as part of the Engaged in Excellence Awards celebration on Monday, May 6, at the Sharon Lynne Wilson Center.
Milwaukee Tool is being recognized as an outstanding community partner for its support of the LAUNCH program and in-kind donations to technical education classrooms across the District. Since partnering with the company in 2017, Milwaukee Tool has contributed monetary donations of over $30,000, product donations of 800 tools totalling more than $174,000, and has served as project mentors for over 150 LAUNCH student projects. Milwaukee Tool annually hosts an Innovation Challenge with LAUNCH, tasking students to design and present innovative solutions to challenges the company presents and students to gain unparalleled learning opportunities through the process.
WCTC has become a key partner in support of the Elmbrook Promise, the District’s goal to provide access to 30 college credits to every high school student before graduation. At the heart of our partnership lies the Excelerate program, where Elmbrook will celebrate its first graduates to complete a high school diploma and an associate's degree while in high school. Additionally, the growing Dual Enrollment Academy has created opportunities for students to start on a career path, earn certifications, and gain industry experience in a supportive high school cohort. These career pathways include certificates in welding, Emergency Medical Technician, IT programming, Firefighting, nursing, dental assistant, and more. Innovative opportunities in the fields of advanced manufacturing and artificial intelligence provide students with hands-on learning experiences for future-ready careers. New course offerings in business management and marketing also offer students deeper insights into the field of work.
Congratulations and thank you to Milwaukee Tool and WCTC for their tremendous partnerships and amazing service to our students, educators, and Elmbrook community.
