What is CTE? Junction City High School is a career academy high school. There are three career academies available
to choose from: Business Information Technology (BIT), Science Engineering Technology (SET), and Fine Arts & Human Services (FAHS). Each academy provides career clusters and courses that correspond with career and technical education pathways (CTE). CTE involves a widespread range of academic and career-oriented learning experiences which incorporates a variety of different careers.
Each CTE pathway contains a sequence of courses within an academy that focuses on a related set of career courses and skills. Most academic and elective courses are grouped within an academy, while some may cover all three. Junction City High School also provides students with internship and job shadowing opportunities. CTE improves students’ college and career readiness by providing a variety of opportunities for postsecondary success in education and employment.
There are many opportunities at JCHS CTE and we want you to take advantage of those that are important to you. All of our pathways offer Articulation Agreements with post-secondary schools. If you finish enough courses to become a Pathway Completer many of our Kansas post-secondary schools will award you advanced placement credit for college courses. This saves time and money! See page 22 for details.
