Centennial Trivia Challenge

Join Us in Celebrating ACTE’s 100-Year Legacy with Centennial Trivia Challenge:
100 Questions for 100 Years

As ACTE approaches its 100th anniversary in December 2026, we are thrilled to unveil a unique and engaging way to commemorate our storied history. From Jan. 8, 2025, to Dec. 2, 2026, ACTE members and CTE enthusiasts will enjoy the Centennial Trivia Challenge: 100 Questions for 100 Years. This weekly series will feature one thought-provoking question each week, culminating in a total of 100 trivia questions to honor 100 years of ACTE’s impact in career and technical education.

This exciting initiative is led by ACTE Historian and Past President Gary Moore, North Carolina State University (retired). Moore’s extensive knowledge of ACTE and his dedication to preserving our history shine in this fun and educational initiative. From fascinating milestones to notable leaders and groundbreaking initiatives, these trivia questions will highlight the rich legacy of ACTE while offering members a chance to deepen their connection to our shared mission.

Each week’s question will appear below and on social media channels and in ACTE News, with the answer (noted in bold) shared the following week. Follow along to test your knowledge and celebrate ACTE’s past, present and future as we count down to the grand celebration at CareerTech VISION 2026, happening Dec. 2-5 in New Orleans, Louisiana.
