Why CTE at North
Three things your
student walks away with:
Industry credentials
OSHA, AWS, Adobe, AutoCAD, ASE — the same credentials working professionals earn, recognized nationwide.
Real-world experience
Internships, apprenticeships, and project-based work with local employers — before graduation, not after.
College-track or career-track
CTE doesn't close doors — it opens them. Graduates go straight into trades, college, or both.

My daughter found her path through the Health Science program. She's already CPR-certified, has shadowed at our local hospital, and starts community college with a head start most students never get.

I was skeptical at first — I wanted my son in a college-track program. But after watching him build a portfolio in Architectural Drafting and land a paid internship before his senior year, I'm a believer. CTE opened doors, didn't close them.

My son was lost in regular classes. The Welding program gave him something to show up for. He walked out with two industry credentials, a job offer at $58K, and confidence I hadn't seen in years.
