About

Students leave the Stanwood Career & Technical Education (CTE) Programs with marketable employability skills and levels of academic qualifications which allow them to choose among high-demand careers or pursue additional education and training. 

Our CTE mission is to prepare all learners for successful roles in families, careers and communities.
