Through Career and Technical Education, we focus on helping students develop their problem solving and creativity skills through various STEM, Business Education, and service projects. The development of these skills will aid in students achieving higher levels of academic, social, and professional success.
Students have the opportunity to explore various topics that interests them in a maker-space environment. Students utilize the 5 step problem solving process along with the engineering process to design, create, test, and assess their solutions to challenges. Thereby, students gain a wealth of experiences bringing their ideas to life. |

Through various Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSO's), such as Technology Student Association, students have the ability to attend state and national conferences to network with other students, attend training and career seminars, as well as compete.
