Welcome to Shoreline School
District's Career and Technical Education Department
(CTE)
The definition of Career and Technical Education (CTE) is a
planned program of courses and learning experiences that begin with
exploration of career options. This supports basic academic and
life skills and enables achievement of high academic standards. It
encourages leadership skills, preparation for a liveable wage
employment as well as encourages advanced and continuing
education.
Currently, the CTE Department is comprised of twenty-three teachers
and seven support staff. Shoreline is very fortunate to have a very
talented and caring group of professionals who are focused on
helping students make a successful transition from high school to
the world of work, and/or continue their education through the
military, technical school, two year community college or
university. Many of our CTE classes are aligned with the community
colleges so our students may earn college credit (Tech Prep) in the
high school while earning high school credit.
We are proud of our students' successes in CTE and welcome the
public to come tour our programs. In addition, all of our programs
have a business-industry advisory committee that is comprised of
community members who help advise on how best to prepare our
students for life after high school. If you would like to arrange a
tour and/or would like to learn more about how you can become
involved in CTE, or if you have questions about our programs,
please call or e-mail me. I look forward to talking with you.
