Guess who’s been named a Career and Technical Education (CTE) District of Distinction? (Hint: We have.)
CTE classes in agriculture, welding, health science, criminal justice, culinary arts, business & marketing, information technology, education & training, HVAC and construction technology provide our students with hands-on, real-world experiences. It’s part of our commitment to having Hornets ready for their next steps after graduation.
“This recognition by the Career & Technical Association of Texas belongs to our students and teachers who show up every day with passion, professionalism and a commitment to excellence,” said CTE Coordinator Zach Tappan. “Our programs are built on real-world skills … and the belief that every student deserves the opportunity to discover their potential and pursue a meaningful career path.”
Our incredible CTE program is just one reason Athens ISD is the educational heart of East Texas.
