RRPS Career Technical Education (CTE) Programs

RRPS CTE Mission: To provide students with career exploration, core knowledge, and technical experience to advance their employability and post-secondary options.

A CTE Pathway is a 3-4 class sequence in a career cluster. Each pathway consists of Intro, Concentrator, and Capstone classes. See the pathways in the links below.

The National High School Graduation Rate for CTE Concentrators (students taking at least two classes in a CTE Pathway) is 94% – 9 percentage points higher than the national average of 85%.
