Career and Technical Education Department
The Attleboro High School Career and
Technical Education Programs offer a three year course of study in a
variety of technical areas and human services. CTE courses allow
students to apply academic learning in "real life" experiences that
complement the course work all high school students take to ensure
college and career readiness.
The Career and Technical Programs are rigorous yet engaging and
interesting, due to their project-based approach to learning. Over the
three year program of study, students of the CTE programs follow a
framework of instruction that prepares them in the areas of:
- Health and Safety
- Technical Skills
- Embedded Academics
- Employability Skills
- Entrepreneurship and Management
- Principles of Technology
Students who complete a three year program of study, earn a safety
credential and present a student portfolio of high school
accomplishments. They are eligible for the Attleboro High School
Certificate of Occupation Proficiency. The "Certificate" raises the
Education standard recognized and expected by employers and business
leaders, as well as post-secondary institutions. All the while, it is
built upon the premise that all students can be successful.
Students of CTE programs have the opportunity to participate in
work-based learning experiences in the community via job shadows,
internships and co-operative education placements.
Senior students may aspire to membership in the National Technical
Honor Society which recognizes combined academic and technical
achievement.
In addition to the numerous high school athletics and
extra-curricular activities, CTE students can participate in SkillsUSA, a
national organization that promotes leadership and technical skill
achievement.
