CONNECTING EDUCATION AND CAREERS. 

• supports students in the acquisition of rigorous core knowledge, skills, habits and attitudes needed for success in post-secondary education and the high-skilled workplace;
  
  

• engages students in specific career-related learning experiences that equip them to make well-informed decisions about further education and training and employment opportunities; and
  
  

• prepares students who choose to enter the workforce directly after high school with levels of skill and knowledge in a particular career area that will be valued in the marketplace.
  
  

   The CTE Staff believes that all coursework, with clearly articulated standards and expectations, assists students in building the mix of skills, aptitudes and attitudes they will need for success after high school.

     In CTE we set the stage for our students' future successes by focusing on the new three R's  --  rigor, relevance, and relationships. The CTE programs meets the demand for greater work force skills by relying on the knowledge and skills of professionals from career fields to provide direction of students to learn, to do, and to produce.  Our instructors come from a successful career in their industry and/or college background and maintain close ties with their business/industry to keep pace with technical advancements and methods.  From their own experience and continuous contact with industry and business, instructors know what students need for successful employment and further training.
