Programs are structured so that students can have career-technical experiences at each grade level in high school. All students are encouraged to take courses that are in their career or general interest areas.

The programs of study available are agriculture education, family and consumer science education, drafting, technology education, marketing, business and office education, computer science, health science, technology preparation, and criminal justice.

The goal of Career-Technical Education in Lauderdale County is to prepare students for life long learning. Through the experiences available to students in the courses offered, they will be able to broaden their understanding of career areas prior to a post-secondary experience. We believe that everyone must have some type of post-secondary training whether it is on-the-job training, attending one of the Tennessee technology centers, a technical institute, a community college, or a 4-year college. The choice belongs to the student and his/her parents and it is our responsibility to provide the necessary experiences to enable them to make a knowledge based choice.

We are proud to be part of the High Schools That Work initiative. The High Schools That Work initiative under the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) works to strengthen the academic preparation of career-technical education students by blending rigorous academic and Career-Technical students.
