Welcome to our Career Technical Education Program!
Open enrollment is based on space available.

Career Technical Education (CTE) classes give students real world-applicable skills and are key aspects of our programs. Our school offers many CTE Pathways ranging from Introductory to Capstone Level. Starting the second week of school, students spend a minimum of one hour attending a Career Technical Education (CTE) Introductory Course one time a week (one credit earned per semester). If a student starts school within the first three weeks of the semester, they may also choose to attend one of our CTE Concentrator Courses, which are on two days a week for two hour blocks each day for a total of four hours a week (five credits earned per semester). If a student continues in the same CTE Pathway, they may participate in one of our Capstone courses, offered two days a week for two hour blocks for a total of four hours a week (five credits earned per semester).
