Programs in Career and Technical Education are designed to contribute to the broad educational achievement of students, including basic skills such as reading, writing, and mathematics, as well as their ability to work independently and as part of a team, think creatively, solve problems, and utilize technology. These tools and experiences make school more relevant, and ensure students are ready for the real world. Whether students plan to further their education in community colleges, technical schools, four-year colleges and universities, receive on-the-job training, or pursue careers in the military, CTE can be the first step in a pathway toward productive employment and citizenship.
The CTE faculty at First Flight High School have a combined 200+ years of education and industry experience.

Career & Technical Student Organizations
In 2025-2026, First Flight High School will offer a number of opportunities for students to be engaged in their courses outside or beyond the classroom. Career Technical Student Organizations or CTSO's, offer an opportunity for fellowship and competitive application of the knowledge and the skills a student learns in their CTE classes. Students can participate in one of three student organizations at FFHS that are connected to their CTE curriculum (HOSA, SkillsUSA, NTHS).
