What is Career and Technical Education?
Career and Technical Education (CTE) encompasses a tremendous variety of programs designed to equip students with work and life skills. Junior high students begin participating in 7th grade, which go on to join the ranks of more than 3500 Mission High School, Veterans Memorial High School and Mission Collegiate High School students participate in our CTE program to develop occupational and technical skills needed for the 21st century.

Why Career and Technical Education Works
Why Career and Technical Education Works
Our CTE department has continually strived to maintain the latest technical equipment being used in business and industry. Although thousands of dollars are needed to upgrade and maintain this equipment, it provides our CTE students with increased opportunities to apply hands-on skills and training they can then use in the workplace. Each student can select any of our 28 programs of study based on their career interest.
