This school year, Superintendent Cole has called on all of us to embrace one bold challenge: DARE TO BE GREAT. At CTEC, we answer that call by preparing students for high-wage, high-demand careers, setting excellence as the standard, and embedding a culture of courage, commitment, and distinction in everything we do.

We encourage every student, parent, partner, and educator to take up this charge—push the limits, raise expectations, and pursue greatness without hesitation. Thank you for your continued support and partnership. Together, we are building futures, strengthening communities, and shaping the workforce of tomorrow.
