Career & Technical Education (CTE)
The Career & Technical Education department at CHS includes staff members in the areas of agriculture, industrial technology, art, business, technology, media, and family and consumer science. CHS offers many opportunities for students to learn college and/or career-ready skills within the community.
CHS Industries is a school-based enterprise, consisting of multiple subsidiaries, created to provide more opportunities for students to learn and develop career-specific skills while creating, marketing, and selling student-made products and services to the CHS students, faculty, and community. Subsidiaries include Trojan A&M Center, Trojan Brew, Trojan Design Center, Trojan Print Shop, Trojan Bakery, Trojan Detailing Center, and the Trojan Greenhouse.
Our Workplace Experience Program, Internship, is expanding, and it is our hope that every CHS student, prior to graduating, will have gained valuable work experience.
