The Vision of Career and Technical Education in the Auburn School District
Career and technical education is an essential element of the comprehensive public education system, and is accessible by all students regardless of their ability, ethnicity, disability, cultural background, gender, or economic status.
The vision of career and technical education in the Auburn School District is to incorporate a wide variety of programs designed to help students explore career pathways, prepare them for the world of work, and launch further post-secondary educational opportunities. Career and technical education equips students with skills in applied academics, appropriate work ethics, interpersonal relationship skills, leadership skills, and technical skills in given occupational areas.
The level of expectation for students of career and technical programs is high. Many of our high school career and technical courses are Tech Prep articulated with post secondary institutions, granting students college credit for successful completion of high school career and technical programs. Most importantly, our programs will continue to be critical partners in the education reform effort of the State of Washington. Relevant and rigorous application of the academic skills identified in goals one and two of the HB 1209 are incorporated into our curriculums.
The Career and Technical Education programs are divided into the following categories:
Students are encouraged to work with their counselor and career specialist to explore the different training options that are available to them while they are in high school.
Career and technical education provides students with opportunity, options, challenge, and the leadership skills necessary for a successful start toward their future.
