We exist to help students find their path and create a better future for themselves. We behave with passion, collaboration, and innovation. We prepare students for college, career, and life through high-quality Career Technical Education (CTE) pathways, integrated curriculum, work-based learning, a variety of career exploration activities, and college planning tools. Our mission is to engage every student in rigorous and relevant educational pathways and programs, developed in partnership with business and industry, promoting creativity, innovation, leadership, community service, and lifelong learning, allowing students to turn their “passions into paychecks” – their dreams into careers.
