Career Technical Education
Pathways to Success
What is CTE? Our hands-on, engaging Career Technical Education programs help students develop skills and discover pathways to careers they will love. Students enrolled in these courses are on track for high-skill, high-wage, high-demand careers, from health science and forestry to construction and automotive.
In the past decade, Bend-La Pine Schools supported expansion to grow CTE program options in our high schools, as local industries, families, students and colleges understand the value of students gaining hands-on, real-world experience through these programs. Dr. Steve Cook Superintendent
