| About Us
The Department of Career & Technical Education is a combined effort of skills development programs, career academies, small learning communities, and alternative pathways. We promote a school-to-work environment for all students by developing real-world skills which are so valuable in a highly competitive job market. All CTE programs are design to give students options from immediate post-high school employment, 2-year community college programs, or a 4-year university track.
