Career & Technical Education

Career & Technical Education (CTE) is a program of study that involves a sequence of classes that integrates core academic knowledge (i.e. math, science, language arts, history…) with technical and occupational knowledge.  This allows students an opportunity to explore a career of interest, get hands on experience, and an opportunity to acquire real world job skills.
