The Career and Technical Education Center (CTEC) provides students with unique opportunities to explore specialized career pathways not available at their home schools. CTEC equips students with the skills and experiences needed for success in high-demand industries and post-secondary education by offering hands-on training, industry-aligned certifications, and innovative learning environments. 

CTEC is available to students interested in pathways not offered at home school sites. 

We’re excited to welcome all our students, staff, and instructors back for another incredible year of hands-on learning and career exploration! Whether you're returning to continue your journey or stepping into our labs and classrooms for the first time, we’re proud to have you as part of our CTE family.

We look forward to new opportunities to grow your skills, connect with industry professionals, and prepare for a successful future in your chosen field — whether it's healthcare, technology, trades, or beyond.

Let’s work together, stay focused, and make this year your most impactful one yet!

Here’s to a safe, productive, and inspiring year at the Center!

Student Experience

Students enrolled in CTEC remain registered at their home high schools but attend CTEC for half a day every other day. This arrangement allows them to benefit from specialized training while maintaining their connection to their home school.

CTEC is designed to provide comprehensive career and technical education that aligns with regional industry needs, promotes equitable access to career pathways, and enhances both student outcomes and local economic development.

Southeast Middle School is doing outstanding work connecting classroom learning to real-world experiences in their CTE classes. This year, students applied their skills by designing and creating products for sale, gaining hands-on experience in entrepreneurship, marketing, and production.

Their hard work was proudly showcased at the Broadmoor Arts and Crafts Festival, where students displayed a wide variety of student-made items for the community. This authentic learning experience allowed students to see how creativity, craftsmanship, and business skills come together beyond the classroom. We applaud Southeast Middle School for fostering innovation, entrepreneurship, and real-world readiness in their CTE programs!
