College & Career Prep – Whether you're headed to college or straight into a career, CTE gives you a strong foundation.
Hands On Learning – Work on real-world projects and participate in labs, simulations, and industry-based experiences.
Industry Connections – Build a network through partnerships with local businesses and access job placement support.
