CTE

What is CTE? Career and Technical Education (CTE) are programs of study that involves a multiyear sequence of courses that integrates core academic knowledge with technical and occupational knowledge to provide students with a pathway to postsecondary education and careers.

 
 

CTE Works for High School Students

High school students involved in CTE are more engaged, perform better and graduate at higher rates.

  • 81 percent of dropouts say relevant, real-world learning opportunities would have kept them in high school.

  • The average high school graduation rate for students concentrating in CTE programs is 90.18 percent, compared to an average national freshman graduation rate of 74.9 percent.

  • More than 70 percent of secondary CTE concentrators pursued postsecondary education shortly after high school.

 
 

At Pioneer High School we have several departments and programs within the CTE area.
