Welcome to CTE! My name is Catherine Ludowese and I am the Construction teacher here at Roosevelt High. This is my second year here and was previously at Sanford Middle School for multiple years teaching engineering and architecture. In my class students learn about basic shop safety, work on group projects, and multiple construction career options. College is not the only road to take, and my goal is to educate the students about every option they have for their future.

A little bit about myself: I am a farmer and a teacher’s daughter. I grew up in a town of 500 people with no stoplights or even a grocery store. I have 4 degrees: Cosmetology License (Aveda Institute), Bachelor of Science-Design (The Arts Institute International Minnesota), CTE License-Construction (University of Minnesota), Masters of Environmental Science (St. Cloud State University). I bought a house built in 1889 in the Cherokee Park area in St. Paul. I have a dog and a cat and will be getting hitched this year so a name change is coming!
