Students in Career and Technical Education programs graduate at a significantly higher percentage rate than the national average. CTE provides relevant, real-world learning opportunities that capture students’ attention and commitment to completion.

Dr. Christine Moloney, Superintendent

CTE provides students an opportunity to choose a unique path that complements their talents and interests. Our courses and teachers prepare them with the knowledge and skills that are valued in postsecondary training programs, work, and life.

Rick Goble, Executive Director of Student Achievement

Advisory committees advise, assist, and provide support and advocacy for quality CTE programs. Members have the opportunity to learn more about the CTE program, increase their understanding of the job market, employers’ needs, and community opportunities.

Career Pathways
CTE classes fall into one of 16 “career clusters.” A career cluster is a group of jobs and industries that are related by skills or products. Within each cluster, there are pathways that correspond to a collection of courses and training opportunities to prepare students for a chosen career.

High School and Beyond

The High School and Beyond Plan is a graduation requirement for every student. It’s a process for students, parents, and teachers to guide students through high school and think about their future. Plans are personalized and designed to help students set, visualize, and work to achieve goals.
