CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION (CTE)
Career Technical Education (CTE) provides students with the academic and technical skills, knowledge and training necessary to succeed in college and future careers to become lifelong learners. Many of the CTE courses offered at LSHS provide access to CTE Dual College Credit, Industry Recognized credentials and more.
CTE Graduation Pathways include 2 or more CTE courses (2.0 or more High School Credits) in a single program area, or approved pathway. The sequence of courses must align to a student’s High School and Beyond Plan to be considered for CTE Graduation Pathway.
CTE Dual Credit creates an opportunity for qualified students to earn high school credits toward graduation while earning specific college credit. Many of the Career and Technical Education courses offered through the Lake Stevens School District are aligned with professional-technical courses offered through Everett Community College and Pacific Northwest College Credit. The Dual Credit process will be explained by CTE teachers that offer courses with a Dual Credit alignment.
