Career Technical Education (CTE) provides students of all ages with the academic and technical skills, knowledge, and training necessary to succeed in future careers and to become lifelong learners. In total, about 12.5 million high school and college students are enrolled in CTE across the nation. CTE prepares these learners for the world of work by introducing them to workplace competencies, and makes academic content accessible to students by providing it in a hands-on context. The high school graduation rate for CTE concentrators is about 90% – 15 percentage points higher than the national average.

Students at Ānuenue are asked to take at least two courses from the same pathway in grades 9, 10, and 11. This will allow the student to try for a CTE Honors Certificate if certain requirements are met.

CTE Honors Certificate Requirements

A cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher.
Compete two courses in the program of study.
Earn a B or better in each of the courses that they take in the program.
Meet or exceed proficiency on the performance-based assessment in the same program of study.
