CTE Pathways

CTE Pathways

Career-Technical Education (CTE) prepares students for high-skill, high-wage, high-demand jobs where you can be creative, innovative, and self-directed after high school.  South’s programs focus on student collaboration, real-world relevance, and leadership development opportunities. CTE sets students up for success in all levels of post-secondary education and entry-level employment, start-up entrepreneurship, and community leadership.

For classic South students, committing to any of the CTE pathways and the final CTE Project replaces the Senior Experience. The CTE Project fulfills the Extended Application graduation requirement. Students who have taken 1.5 credits in a CTE Program of Study by the end of Junior year are eligible to declare the CTE Project for Senior year. 

While anyone may take these courses, we encourage all students to consider completing the 3-credit pathway (see below).  Some CTE programs offer College Now credit, and pathways are connected to the senior-year CTE project, which can fulfill the Extended Application requirements for graduation.

You can find additional information in the 2025 South CTE Brochure and below.

  • CALCI “Hub” Programs are district-wide Career-Technical programs that allow students to do a deep dive into a career pathway while earning high school credits and fulfill the Extended Application requirements to graduate. These programs have no prerequisites to enter, have integrated credit, and are project-based and hands-on.  Attendance is essential in these programs, so be aware that chronic absences or tardies may result in your removal from the program.

     

    How CALCI programs differ from South-specific CTE programs:

    • Future Builid is for 11th and 12th Graders only vs South programs can start as early as 9th grade.

    • Future Build is the entire A Day or B Day vs South typically has a single class period per term of the program. 

    • Future Build is completed in a single year vs South programs take 2-3 years to complete.

    • Future Build has integrated credits offered in more than one graduation credit type vs South programs are often are a single credit type, Applied Arts: CTE.

    • District Provided Transportation as students go to a different site for Future Build vs South CTE programs happen only at South.
