The CTE mission is to provide students the skills to be a success in whatever their future may hold. The CTE teachers work closely with over 100 local business and industry professionals to insure that the programs prepare students for both the local and national workforce. We also work closely with WSCC to insure that the programs offered focus on college preparation, allowing students the opportunity to earn college credits while taking CTE programs.
