News & Events
"Innovate locally, LEAD Globally"
At South Career and Technical Academy, we believe in the power of project-based learning (PBL) combined with strong community connections. Through hands-on, real-world projects that utilize local resources, partnerships, and networks, our students gain valuable experience solving real challenges in their own communities. These experiences help students develop critical thinking, technical expertise, and leadership skills, preparing them to make a lasting impact not only locally but also on a global scale.
Our approach ensures that students are ready to apply the skills they learn here to any challenge they may face in the future, equipping them for success in both their careers and their contributions to the world.
The Meaning Behind Our Logo
At South Career and Technical Academy, our logo is more than just an image — it's a representation of our mission, values, and the journey we want our students to embark upon.
The triangle in our logo symbolizes change, progress, strength, and stability. These core values are reflected in our approach to education:
Change & Progress: We are committed to creating a student-centered culture, one that is constantly evolving and innovating to equip our students with the skills they need for their careers and to make a meaningful impact on their community.
Strength & Stability: We believe in building a strong foundation for our students, not just academically but in terms of professional skills and community connection. South CTA aims to provide a stable and supportive environment that empowers students to achieve their highest potential.
Our logo is a reminder of our mission to be the leading, most innovative public magnet school in the country. It reflects our dedication to nurturing future leaders, creators, and problem solvers, ensuring that each student is prepared for both college and career success.
