Career & Technical Education is programs offered in high schools that allow students to gain experience and college credits in specific areas. For students choosing to enroll in one of the programs they must first undergo an application process.
CTE requires more commitment than traditional high school programs, resulting in more science courses than any other in Providence. Due to demand, enrollment requirements, and program capacity, acceptance is competitive. IN addition, students who are accepted, but do not keep good standing in CTE & 'regular' classes may be dropped from the program. Please discuss this application with your guidence counselr and family carefully before making a decision.

Biotechnology is the largest growing career field leading into 2016.

Overpoplulation to emerging diseases, form the controversial to just common sense science. This growing field is in need of trained workers resulting in 5% projected job growth in the sector for many years to come.

Community Development is an exciting and dynamic field that prepares students for the workforce, community planning, and many 4-year college programs, In this CTE program, students will be taking courses developed by Roger Williams University and co-taught right here at our shcool. Successful students in the major will have many opportunities to get involved with solution based problem solving in our community as this is what the program is centered around: Civic Action. Skills are built into the program through a core set of courses that include management, housing and development skills and a hands-on internship to assess issues affecting modern day communities and community development agencies. Our hope is to develop graduates who understand both how to work with individuals and how to affect communities' positions within the context of larger social institutions.
