Vision
Our vision is for a future where all students graduate high school with a better understanding of themselves and their career path, where all students are truly prepared to be successful in college, career, and life.
Mission
We exist to help students find their path and create a better future for themselves. We behave with passion, collaboration, and innovation. We prepare students for college, career, and life through high-quality Career Technical Education (CTE) pathways, integrated curriculum, work-based learning, a variety of career exploration activities, and college planning tools. Our mission is to engage every student in rigorous and relevant educational pathways and programs, developed in partnership with business and industry, promoting creativity, innovation, leadership, community service, and lifelong learning, allowing students to turn their “passions into paychecks” – their dreams into careers.
Goals
Ensure all pathways are rigorous and relevant, meeting at least one of the following:
- UC ‘a-g’ approval, industry recognized certification, articulation with Community College
- Strengthen pathway alignment to the 11 Elements of High-Quality CTE
- Increase work-based learning opportunities for all students
- Strengthen vertical alignment with middle school and postsecondary education
- Expand integration with core academics through project-based learning
