In East Side Union High School District, students can take advantage of unique educational programs that prepare them for life after graduation. Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs give students the specialized, hands-on experiences and skills that give them a head-start on living wage careers as well as college.
Participating students get:
- Enhanced educational opportunities
- Ability to apply learning toward solving real-world challenges
- Competitive advantages in a supportive environment
Some of our CTE programs include 2-3 year pathways of CTE classes, and some are academies where students from the CTE pathway are also scheduled together in academic classes. Most include industry certifications and/or dual enrollment college credit.
