What is CTE?
Career and technical education, or CTE, is education that directly prepares students for high-wage, high-demand careers. CTE covers many different fields, including health care, information technology, advanced manufacturing, hospitality and management and many more. CTE encompasses many different types of education, from classroom learning to certification programs to work-based learning opportunities outside the classroom.

Schedule Changes for All Students

Each year a new master schedule is created to accommodate students' course requests. Counselors meet with all students in February to review course requests. Faculty members are employed, textbooks are purchased, and rooms are assigned based on these requests. 

For these reasons, course requests for the 2020-2021 school year are finalized on May 1, 2020
Changes after that date will only be allowed for the following reasons:

1) You haven't met the prerequisite for a course
2) You have already taken and passed that course

The band performed a 17-minute medley of pop tunes including: “All I Do Is Win” by DJ Khaled, “Eye Of The Tiger” by Survivor, “Livin’ La Vida Loca” by Ricky Martin, “Shipping Up To Boston” by the Dropkick Murphys, “Seven Nation Army” by The White Stripes, “Rock and Roll All Night” by KISS and the Wilmot school song.
