Thank you for your interest in Career and Technical Education (CTE) in the San Dieguito Union High School District. CTE is not the "vocational education" of years ago. No longer is CTE solely for those students who have elected to transition immediately from high school to work. Instead, CTE is for all students regardless of their post secondary plans. CTE is for the future doctor developing initial skills in high school by achieving the competencies included in our Health Essentials and Biotechnology program. CTE is for the future engineer who can begin his or her career in the Project Lead the Way Introduction to Engineering Design. CTE is for the computer programmer who wants to start in our Information Technology classes all the way through to AP Computer Science A & B. CTE is for ALL students regardless of their immediate career plans.

CTE benefits students by providing them with a true motivation to learn and through it students begin to see the relevance of core subjects such as math, science and language arts. We like to say that CTE provides students with a reason to learn and the power to earn!
