Career Technical Education (CTE)
Empowering students through academic and technical excellence.
The SCHS CTE program prepares students for college, careers, and the world of work through hands-on, industry-relevant education. With pathways articulated with Grossmont and Cuyamaca Colleges, students can earn college credit while building practical skills and exploring their passions.
Who we are
The SCHS College and Career Technical Education (CTE) program is designed to provide all students with opportunities for enhanced learning experiences, preparation for future career decisions and a realistic view of the world of work.
Elective CTE Courses provide students with the academic knowledge and skills needed to prepare for post-secondary education. Some of the CTE courses will be articulated with Grossmont and Cuyamaca College, and offer students an opportunity to earn college credit. Students also receive a strong experience and understanding of some aspects of the industry they are considering for a future career.
The competency based applied learning methodology featured in CTE courses contributes to the academic knowledge, problem solving abilities, work attitudes, technical expertise and future employability.
CTE Pathways
Connecting High School to College and Career
What is a CTE pathway?
A CTE pathway is a sequence of two or more CTE courses within a student’s area of career interest. Pathways are designed to connect high school classes to college, industry certifications, and/or a career.
Why should students participate in a CTE pathway?
While in high school, students have the opportunity to acquire free technical skills training in the career field he/she is interested in. Students will learn valuable technical skills and soft skills making them employable regardless of the field of study they actually end up in.
Are any CTE classes in pathways articulated with local community colleges?
Yes! Some CTE courses are articulated with Cuyamaca and Grossmont colleges. At the beginning of each school year, CTE teachers work with CTE transition coordinators from Cuyamaca and Grossmont college to begin or renew their course articulation agreements.
How do CTE courses prepare students for college and career?
All CTE courses support the Common Core and CTE Model Curriculum Standards (MCS). Learning rigorous academic skills, especially in English Language Arts and Mathematics are an integral part of each CTE course outline and competencies. These skills help our students put English Language Arts and Mathematics to work in a real-world, hands-on environment they can relate to. The CTE MCS are designed to assist school districts in developing high quality curriculum and instruction to prepare students for future careers. The MCS were created with assistance from more than 300 representatives from business, industry, postsecondary and secondary education and reviewed by nearly 1000 members of the general public. These standards are rigorous, evidence-based, relevant and reasonable in scope http://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/ct/sf/mcsbriefpaper.asp
