CTE
Career Technical Education

Purpose

The mission of Career and Technical Education (CTE) is to empower all students to be successful citizens, workers and leaders in a global economy. CTE gives purpose to learning by emphasizing real-world skills and practical knowledge.

What we've done

Career and Technical Education fulfills an increasingly significant role in school reform efforts. Students who concentrate in a CTE area are better prepared for the further education and advanced training required to be successful in 21st century careers. C.D Owen High School Career and Technical Education teachers partner with business and industry and with community colleges and other post-secondary institutions to ensure Career and Technical Education serves the needs of individual students.
