Why CTE? There are numerous benefits for students who attend middle & high school CTE classes. CTE offers career pathways from high school to post-secondary education including dual-enrollment & articulated credit and industry certs that lead to high wage & high demand careers.

In 2024-2025, our CTE students were able to attain over 4,600 industry certifications across our programs & academies. Examples such as ServSafe to enter into culinary positions, technology certs that lead to gateway jobs, and trades students earning certs. Congrats CTE Students!
