Career and Technical Education (CTE) prepares students for success in both college and career by combining strong academic foundations with real-world, hands-on learning. Our programs empower students to explore career pathways, develop technical skills, and gain industry-recognized credentials that give them a competitive edge after graduation.

Through partnerships with local businesses, colleges, and training programs, students experience learning that goes beyond the classroom. CTE courses emphasize problem-solving, teamwork, communication, and technical expertise—skills that employers value across all industries. Whether students plan to enter the workforce, attend college, or pursue advanced training, CTE provides a clear and supported pathway toward their goals.

Our programs reflect today’s workforce needs and tomorrow’s opportunities. Students can explore fields such as healthcare, computer technology and a wide variety of skilled trades, while learning from instructors with industry experience. Many programs offer opportunities for internships, job shadowing, career certifications, and college credit.

Career and Technical Education is more than training—it’s a pathway to purpose, possibility, and prosperity. We are proud to offer programs that inspire confidence, fuel ambition, and prepare students for lifelong success.
