Celebrating 50 Years of Impact
This year also marks our 50th anniversary - five decades of student success, strong partnerships and meaningful community impact. Our communities continue to embrace CTE, and we couldn’t be more excited about what lies ahead. We are incredibly proud of our students, dedicated staff and outstanding business and community partners.
