Career Technical Education (CTE)

Teacher:  Jennifer Eschbach (jennifer.eschbach@swcsd.us) and Alex Sparks (alex.sparks@swcsd.us)

There are three CTE courses at the middle school level:

Seventh graders take Exploring Careers. This course is designed to help students begin to think about how understanding what they like to do, and what they are good at, can lead them to satisfying careers. Throughout the nine weeks, we will explore career areas within sixteen main career clusters, as defined by the US Labor and Statistics Department. This course leads into the Career and College Readiness course students will take as freshmen.

Eighth grade students take Interactive Media Design

The Career Tech department also offers four elective courses:  Intro to Coding, App Development, Design & Modeling, and Medical Detectives
