 Our BCT Students

The mission of Career and Technical Education (CTE) is to empower students to be successful citizens, workers, and leaders in a global economy. Therefore, we strive to help students complete a Program of Study, which is the first step towards receiving a Credential that validates and confirms their knowledge in that area of study.

CTE offers many successful programs and activities to enhance our students’ experiences.

Those programs are:

  • Microsoft Imagine Academy
