Although it is an easy temptation, do not pick classes based on what your friends have selected. Select programs that interest you and that spark curiosity.

Explore Career & Technical Education (CTE) Pathways

Did you know that 91茄子 Public Schools supports a diverse selection of CTE programs at all of our high schools? Through enrollment in CTE classes, you can explore a number of areas of occupational interests and pursue a career focus in depth while completing your high school diploma. Many of the CTE programs and classes are aligned with similar courses at local community colleges and are available for credit at both the high school and a community college simultaneously. 

CTE programs are unique among high school course offerings as they provide:

• Hands-on learning in laboratory-based experiential instruction
• Work-based learning, relating the technical instruction and practice to what happens in the real world of work
• Personal leadership development opportunities
• Reinforcement of academic skills related to the technical area of study through real-life applications
