Career and Technical Education (CTE)
Career and Technical Education (CTE) is a state designation for rigorous academic programs that offer a clear program of study under a qualified, credentialed teacher integrating real-world learning to prepare students for high-skill, high-wage, in-demand career fields. CTE programs offer students opportunities to apply learning, develop leadership, and enhance employability skills through Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs); industry-recognized certifications, and access to work-based learning experiences.
Benefits of CTE Courses:
- Hands-on courses to explore your career pathway!
- Get a head start on college or career.
- Work-based learning, credit for work experiences, and professional internship opportunities.
- In many courses, students can earn nationally recognized certifications to gain employment.
- Some CTE courses are also Concurrent Enrollment Courses (meaning students earn high school and college credits simultaneously).
Below is a list of CTE courses offered at DCHS. Our students are also eligible to enroll in off-site CTE courses at other Douglas County School District high schools or at the DCSD Legacy Campus. See all CTE courses available.
