Career and Technical Education
At Edgewood ISD, our goal is to prepare our high school students for life after graduation. The experiences we provide through the CTE program gives students hands on skills as well as valuable knowledge about specific programs that interest them. We want to provide our students with a world-class education that positions them for success beyond their senior year. We want our students to have the ability to compete with other competitors for jobs locally across our nation, and from around the world.
