CTE's Why

CTE prepares all students for high skill, high wage or in-demand careers. The experience begins with career inspiration in pre-k, awareness in elementary school, exploration in middle school, and preparation in high school. CTE equips students for post-secondary education and immediate employment opportunities to successfully compete worldwide.
