Career & Technical Education Department
The Career & Technical Education (CTE) Department offers a variety of programs that will lead to many career and educational opportunities whether a student plans to attend a university, trade school or enter the workforce upon graduation. CTE courses provide the skills and knowledge that will help students succeed in today’s technological world. The CTE vision is to ensure a dynamic workforce by fully developing every student’s career and academic potential. The mission is to prepare Arizona students for workforce success and continuous learning.
CTE programs have a prerequisite of an introduction course or a fundamental course that is required by the Arizona Department of Education. Introduction or fundamental courses are the courses where students learn basic academic and technical competencies tied to specific careers and also prepare them for advanced application courses. The Application Level I and II courses designed for juniors and seniors provide students with specific preparation that leads to employment and/or further education upon graduation. Several courses have been articulated with Pima Community College. Students who successfully complete these courses may receive college credit through Pima Community College.
