More About CTE
Industry Certifications. A goal of our CTE program is to give students the ability to gain industry-recognized credentials while still in high school. Student certifications are available in all CTE cluster areas. These certifications and/or licenses can provide the student with credentials that will benefit them in obtaining employment in a related field or acceptance into post-secondary education. Some certifications may be obtained at no cost to the student; some may require the payment of fees by the student.
Work-Based Opportunities. Practicum Courses provide opportunities for students to participate in a learning experience that combines classroom instruction with paid and non-paid business and industry employment experiences and supports strong partnerships among school, business, and community stakeholders.
Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs) Involvement. CTSOs are integrated into CTE programs and courses. CTSOs extend teaching and learning through innovative programs and provide students leadership experiences at the school, state and national levels. CTSOs offer learning experience opportunities with business and community partners. CTSOs offered: BPA, FFA, FBLA, FCCLA, DECA, HOSA, Skills USA, TSA, and VEX Robotics.
