About CTE Pathways

Shenendehowa High School students can gain knowledge and skills with their choice of 4 CTE Pathways in the Business, FACS and Technology Education Departments.  Each career pathway is a sequence of courses approved by the New York State Education Department, and includes a professional exam, work-based learning experiences, career and financial management component, and at least one college level course. Students who complete all the required courses and pass the professional exam will receive a CTE Endorsement Seal on their diploma. These credentials can signal to employers and colleges that an individual has the knowledge, skills, and abilities required for a specific occupation or industry.
