Electronic Device Policy
We need your help to ensure our students are focused and preparing for their career choice at CTEC.

All students will be expected to put away these electronic devices during instructional time. Students not following CTEC guidelines will be disciplined according to the EBR Parish Rights and Responsibilities Handbook.

Reach out to your home school if you run into any roadblocks.
CTEC Application Portal for 24-25 is OPEN!
CTEC is a specialized program for high school students in the Capital region. Students get hands-on training in a small group environment by instructors who are credentialed and have worked in their craft area.
Students from our high schools can apply to attend CTEC for ½ day progamming that allows them to take specialized courses, many of which are dual enrollment courses with BRCC.
By still attending their home school, students have the flexibility of a specialized college type experience but also access to high school courses, extracurricular activities, and other high school experiences.
Considerations for Acceptance:
A- ATTENDANCE, good attendance record
B- BEHAVIOR, history of positive behavior
C- CREDENTIALS, you must be ready to earn Credentials
D- DUAL ENROLLMENT, ready to earn dual enrollment if applicable
E- EFFORT, history of putting forth effort (no failing grades)
10th-12th grade students must commit to a minimum of 2 years at CTEC.
Students should have a desire to learn a craft, earn an Industry-Based Credential, and possible dual enrollment credits!
*Medical programs are open for 11th and 12th grade only.
