Career Tech Data

Welcome to Career and Technical Education

The Division of Career and Technical Education is focused on helping students achieve success through leadership development, career awareness, and academic excellence. This division provides support services to Madison City Schools teachers, administrators, and counselors through professional development that works to further K-12 student achievement and project-based learning. Career Technical education is offered in both of our high schools as elective courses as well as both of our middle schools. Career Technical Education (CTE) programs are the foundation of the workforce. CTE is focused on developing 21st Century Skills and technical skills of 7-12 grade students and strives to prepare students for the transition to postsecondary learning and workforce opportunities. It provides students with essential leadership skills through participation in student organizations.
