Career and Technical Education

Our Mission & Purpose

Career and Technical Education (CTE) supports the district's mission to prepare students for graduation fully ready to participate in our democracy with options for their future. 

Our department focuses on community and family needs of the local economy, workforce development, and post-secondary options. CTE programming places special emphasis on helping students identify individual career goals and setting plans to obtain the necessary skills to reach those goals both during and after high school through inclusive and rigorous learning experiences in which each student is empowered and engaged within caring communities.
