Career and Technical Education enables students to get a head start on their future by participating in hands-on, real-world experiences that prepare them for high-wage, high-skill, and high-demand careers.  Students also have the opportunity to earn industry-recognized certifications.

Huntsville City Schools offers over eighteen Career & Technical Education Academies. Please see the details below to learn more about each academy.

Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs) are integral to the career readiness programs.  Students are strongly encouraged to join the student organization affiliated with their chosen career readiness program.  CTSOs include DECA, FBLA, FCCLA, HOSA, SkillsUSA, Greenpower USA, and CyberPatriot.
