CAREER TECHNICAL EDUCATION (CTE)

CTE is a multi-year sequence of courses that integrates core academic knowledge with technical and occupational knowledge to provide students with a pathway to post-secondary education and careers. To be considered a pathway, a school must have two consecutive CTE courses that build upon each other. Students must complete the courses in sequencial order to be considered pathway completers and receive a stole at graduation.
