What is Career and Technical Education?

 
At EHS students continue to explore careers and look at the paths taken to accomplish their career goals.  Students have the opportunity to participate in job shadowing days, college days and other community events like Manufacturing Day and the Construction Trades Expo.  Students may also participate in career based field trips and college visits to better understand the financial aspect of work and college costs.
