Career and Technical Education
Career & Technical Education (CTE) courses create project & problem-based learning environments to provide students with the skills necessary to become both college & career & college ready. Skills such as critical thinking, creative problem-solving, innovation, and collaboration are embedded into all courses. Students can explore a variety of pathways through our courses that have equipment found in the industry they are exploring & connect students to the community for mentorship.
The courses are broken into three categories:
These three categories allow students to explore their passions or advance their desires in post-secondary plans.

All courses in this area fulfill the one-half applied arts credit for graduation.
