Why do we need CTE (Career and Technical Education)?
Did you know that CTE is an essential part of our curriculum? Under Illinois law, school districts are required to offer CTE programs for middle and high school students to help develop practical skills and prepare “for high-skill, high-wage, in-demand employment that furthers Illinois’ global competitiveness … All students benefit from career-connected learning that emphasizes real-world skills within a selected career focus. Students gain practical knowledge while discovering and preparing for success in potential careers.” -Illinois State Board of Education
Building a new high school and using CHS as a unified middle school provides the space for us to offer more real-world learning opportunities that align with the needs of today’s workforce.
