Welcome to Career & Technical Education (CTE)

Hands on learning, real life skills and career exploration
Career and technical education (CTE - formerly referred to as vocational education) prepares students for life and a career after high school. Apprenticeships, technical schools, community college, military or four-year university are options that can be explored in our courses. STEM concepts are taught in many of our CTE courses and include a blend of academic, technical and trade skills.
