What is CTE? 

Career and Technical Education (CTE) combines rigorous academic coursework with real-world technical knowledge and skills. Aligned with state standards, these programs provide clear paths to postsecondary education, workforce training, and high-demand careers.

He will earn six college credits upon graduation.
