Pima JTED, which has been serving southern Arizona students since 2007, is a public school district that provides tuition-free career and technical education, or CTE, programs for high school sophomores, juniors and seniors as well as residents ages 22 and under without a diploma or GED.
Under Prather’s leadership, JTED has experienced 77% growth over the past five years, a news release says.
“We want students to see themselves on a pathway to success, not simply at the door of a college or university,” Prather said in the release.
According to the magazine, honorees are selected through peer nominations, reader input and a thorough editorial board evaluation.
