Creating Attitudes and Relationships that Empower Staff and Students
At the Connecticut Technical Education and Career System (CTECS), the C.A.R.E.S. Council leads the school district in a whole-child approach to nurture our 22nd century learners. Our 22nd century workers are equipped with career and college ready skills that foster care, connection, culture, and community in all aspects of their lives.
We focus on putting the heart and people back in education.

A safe and supportive environment that promotes care, connection, culture, and community.
CARES is committed to cultivating a safe, welcoming, and engaging environment in schools that celebrates authenticity, encourages vulnerability, and fosters growth while nurturing students' passions and empowering them to reach their fullest potential.
C.A.R.E.S. is the process through which staff and students are empowered to meet the challenges of a changing world and the needs of a 22nd century workforce. This means designing and implementing authentic educational engagement that develops the dual capacities of academics and self.
We believe that our students have a right to know themselves and others through the practice of social and emotional skills and abilities. This means that we strive for a strong community centered on kindness and empathy while developing 22nd century college and career readiness skills.
Our success is embedded in our everyday practices of nurturing positive relationships and making caring the norm in all of our schools.
