Course Opportunties

TV Media Arts is a part of the Career & Technical Education (CTE) department. The CTE programs offer our Newton Public School students unique opportunities to explore a variety of career fields. During the students’ CTE program experience, they will access, analyze, and synthesize information, create and problem solve using critical and innovative thinking skills as well as collaborate in teams, develop leadership skills and enhance their communication skills. Through a comprehensive sequencing of technical and academic courses, students develop a solid foundation of knowledge and 21st century competency skills essential for a smooth transition to college/university and or the workforce. Students who participate in CTE programs develop an individual Career Plan designed to help them make informed choices, traditional and non-traditional, now and for their futures. Upon graduation, students will be prepared to pursue a two- or four-year college education, a technical training institute, apprenticeships, and/or enter the workforce. Students who complete a three-year CTE Major program receive a high school diploma, as well as a certificate of completion in the CTE program of study, an OSHA 10 Certification, and an industry recognized certification (Automotive Technology, Construction Technology, Culinary Arts, and Early Education & Care). Six of the Newton Public Schools CTE programs are Chapter 74 approved, meaning they meet rigorous state requirements including a set number of hours of study in a field.

All CTE programs are regularly reviewed by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
