CTSO
VVUHSD participates in two state-recognized Career Technical Student Organizations (CTSO)
Career Technical Student Organizations (CTSO) are an integral component of the classroom curriculum and instruction. CTSOs build upon employability and career skills and concepts through the application and engagement of students in hands-on demonstrations and real-life and/or work experiences.

SkillsUSA: Helps members become world-class skilled workers, leaders, and responsible American citizens.
Alternative Leadership Requirement
One way to meet the Leadership Requirement through Alternate Methods
The specific teaching of leadership skills is embedded in the everyday curriculum, as evidenced by carefully formatted course outlines.
There must be a student club related to the pathway with a hierarchical leadership structure (e.g., club president, vice-president, etc).
Students must build a portfolio over the course of the school year and near the end of the year, present that portfolio to as authentic an audience as possible.
