Thrive.

Explore. Prepare. Launch.

Career & Technical Education (CTE) empowers students to explore career paths and gain real-world skills before they graduate. CTE blends academic learning with hands-on experiences, helping students discover what excites them while preparing for college, careers or whatever their post-high school plans may be.

From Our Strategic Plan

“Expand hands-on learning that fosters intellectual curiosity and adaptability, moving students from passive learners to active agents.”

CTE brings this goal to life. Through hands-on courses, students become adept problem solvers who are ready to adapt to the future and thrive in college, career and civic life.

Put simply: CTE helps students explore, prepare for and launch into the future of their choosing.
