The Career and Technology Education Program (CTE) is designed to prepare students for immediate job entry and continued specialization in post-high school, career or technical institutions. Our vision is for our students to achieve their highest potential toward independence and employability.

    The CTE Program is committed to keep pace with current technological advances for students, while collaborating with businesses and industry, to meet their expectations through comprehensive vocational training.

   Students receive supportive counseling and guidance toward their personal pathway of success. The CTE Program staff work cooperatively with the Deaf, Blind and Multihandicapped Programs, as well as, parents and partnering agencies, to help students assess their abilities and guide them toward their ambitions. 

    The CTE Department at SCSDB currently offers the following courses to students who are deaf, blind or multihandicapped:
•    Automotive Servicing
•    Career Development
•    Computer Application/Keyboarding
•    Computer Science
•    Digital Arts

•    Food Service
•    Horticulture
•    Industrial Skills Development Center
•    Job Shadowing/Mentoring
•    Student Work Experience

    The CTE Program serves students striving to meet core academic requirements for a high school diploma and students working toward the Occupational Diploma through the META curriculum.  Students are encouraged to take an active role in planning for their future to increase their chances for attaining success in life.
