     • Delivering engaging hands-on courses that are relevant to today's workplace
     • Upholding rigorous industry and academic standards
     • Partnering with community business and industry leaders for mentorship and vision
     • Inspiring and preparing students to set and pursue fulfilling career goals

All students in CTE courses are connected with practice and growth in technical and leadership skills necessary to excel in meaningful post-secondary educational opportunities and life.  View the CTE Safety Plan.
