Career and Technology Education courses are designed to provide students with the skills needed to enter today’s workforce. We provide students with rigorous and relevant instruction to help them succeed in our high-demand, high-skilled working environment of the 21st century. Students apply their academic skills along with their technical skill in the CTE classrooms. Career and Technology Education can provide students with a chance to explore various career options and provide them with enhanced earning potential while continuing their education. Many of our courses are articulated with Austin Community College which means students can earn college credit while in high school at no cost to them.

Our challenge is to stay relevant and current in our ever changing society.
