Statement of Mission
We support schools so students can equitably access and complete high quality CTE programs, engage in work-based learning, and are well prepared to navigate clearly defined career paths and pipelines.
WCSD Career & Technical Education programs add value to the high school experience and prepare students for success! These programs provide a rigorous, stimulating curriculum that engages and motivates students; provide opportunities for students to acquire and practice 21st century skills; and prepare students for success in college, high-skill careers, and life. CTE programs are education for the future!
