Admissions

Admissions
Whether a student enrolls in a CTE program or pathway, they are making a significant commitment in terms of instructional time, effort and initiative. When the CTE Office reviews student essays and guidance counselor recommendations, the most important qualities that are considered are as follows:
- Intentionality- does the student have an interest in the chosen program and intend to pursue a career in this industry?
- Drive & Determination- does the student have the desire to invest the time and effort needed to succeed in a rigorous program or pathway while balancing a full academic course load?
