CTEC Counseling Program Mission

The CTEC school counseling program addresses the career, academic and personal/social development of every student in an innovative, challenging, and industry relevant environment. We use a data driven approach to help students achieve their career and college goals by assisting in the development of their collaboration, communication, and critical thinking skills through full class, small group, and individual counseling activities. The program provides many opportunities for personal reflection, which helps develop self-awareness, motivation and passion for their future life.   The counselor partners with other educators and stakeholders to advocate for necessary support to ensure success for all students.

CTEC Counseling Program Vision

All CTEC students demonstrate self-awareness, accountability and critical thinking skills that make them independent and responsible citizens. Our students graduate with the career and college skills necessary to close the skills gap and are motivated and passionate about life-long learning in their selected career path. They are thriving community members that use empathy and compassion to positively impact others around them.
