In Newport News, Career & Technical Education (CTE) serves
students in grades 6-12 providing them with contextual learning
experiences in six program areas:
These six program areas offer over 60 different courses in some
of the top career areas that exist globally. CTE students learn
academic concepts in an applied instructional setting which prepares
them for success and enhanced earning potential in their chosen
career fields. This instruction allows students to receive post-secondary
education credits while completing their high school diploma requirements.
Students participating in these dual enrollment and industry certification
programs gain fundamental knowledge that facilitates smooth transition
into a college setting.
