Career and Technical Education (CTE)
Career and Technical Education is rigorous and relevant content that guides students to high-skill, high-wage, high-demand careers. Career and Technical Education in high school lays the solid foundation necessary for students to be successful in postsecondary educational institutions. This is achieved through a coherent sequence of courses. CTE is for every student who will have a career after high school!
