CTE Rigor
Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year!
We are currently updating our CTE dual enrollment, academic credit, and certification details to provide you with the most current information. Please check back soon for complete updates, or contact our office directly with immediate questions.
Career and Technical Education (CTE) classes are infused with academic rigor, relevance, hands-on learning, and college preparation, thereby connecting academic studies to real-world applications. We do that through CTE Rigor in these areas:
CTE & College Dual-enrollment - Dual-enrollment courses provide students with a challenging academic experience and the opportunity to earn college credit concurrently prior to high school graduation.
Academic Credit for CTE Courses - Academic integration means combining technical skill development based on industry standards, with content knowledge from related academic subjects of math, science, language arts or social studies.
Industry Certifications - Industry-recognized certifications are a way for students to demonstrate mastery of knowledge and skills, increase options for post-secondary education, and increase students' marketability to employers.
Safety FIRST - Students follow established safety procedures to protect themselves and others.
Research indicates that engaging students in advanced inquiry practices (hands-on learning) contributes to effective learning, motivation, critical thinking, communication and an increased interest in content. ~ Banchi & Bell, 2008; McLaughlin & McFadden
