MHS partners with Sanford Regional Technical Center (SRTC) and Dover Career Technical Center (CTC) to offer students 26 different programs which can help to support them in their career goals.
During a student's sophomore year at MHS, they have the opportunity to consider if Career Technical Education (CTE) is a resource to support them in their career pathway. CTE provides cutting-edge, rigorous and relevant career and technical education to enhance student occupational, personal, and academic success. This applied learning opportunity helps to prepare youth for a wide range of high-wage, high-skill, and high-demand careers.
CTE programs prepare students to be ready for career and post-secondary opportunities by:
Delivering expert instruction in national industry-related standards and technical skills
Providing an opportunity for student academic success through multiple pathways
Partnering with area employers and local industry to ensure that students are ready and prepared to meet the needs of the workforce
Introducing and reinforcing general employability skills that are common to all work environments
Coordinating with postsecondary partners to facilitate a seamless transition into continued learning opportunities
