Career & Technical Education

The mission of Career and Technical Education (CTE) is to provide all students a seamless education system, driven by a College and Career Readiness (CCR), through competency-based instructions culminating in essential life skills, certified occupational skills and meaningful employment and/or entrance into a higher education institution for advanced preparation.
