Our CTE programs give students the knowledge and skills needed to gain entry-level employment in a high-skill, high-wage job and/or to continue their education at an institute of higher learning.  

CTE MISSION STATEMENT
Our mission is to provide programs that will cultivate the potential in our students through relevant classroom instruction as well as work-based experiences that will inspire, guide, and empower them in post-secondary education and careers to become successful in this community and beyond.

CTE VISION
