TENTATIVE 2026 CTE Summer Career Exploration Information:

Explore up to six different career fields in the following options: 

• Arts, A/V & Communication
• Business Management
• Architecture & Construction
• Cosmetology
• Culinary
• Health Science
• Human & Community Service
• Information Technology & Computer Science

*Students are asked to choose 3 pathways when they apply, and we will do our best to honor the request. However, it might not be possible to honor all requests, and it is often beneficial for students to experience something that is not what they think is suitable or interesting for them.

*These classes are not intended to let students deep dive into skills and trades, but rather open up their eyes to different career fields with lots of hands-on experience.
