What is CTE?

Career and Technical Education (CTE) combines academic learning with hands-on training to prepare students for both college and careers.

It covers a wide range of fields such as healthcare, technology, and skilled trades, offering real-world experience and industry-recognized certifications. These programs not only enhance student engagement, but also provide pathways to industry-recognized certifications and higher earning potential. CTE has a higher focus on practical experience rather than academic testing that AP and IB courses are known for. This equips students with the tools necessary for meaningful and sustainable careers.

Pathways

A CTE Pathway is a sequence of three courses (Introductory, Concentrator, Capstone) in an industry sector. These courses provide a set of skills that culminate in a demonstration of those skills that meet industry standards.

Woodcreek High School offers the following programs of study:
