CTE center reports capacity squeeze as Washington County adds new workforce courses
Summary
Student representative and superintendent said the Career and Technical Education Center enrolls over 625 students, offers more than 30 classes including heavy equipment operation and unmanned aircraft, and faces enrollment constraints with waiting lists for some programs.
Student representative Zane (Speaker 19) reported that the Career and Technical Education (CTE) Center currently enrolls over 625 students and is offering more than 30 classes this year, including a new heavy equipment operation class and an unmanned aircraft course. "It's a very good thing for high school students to be able to get the workforce experience while still in school," Zane said.
Superintendent Dr. Perrigan confirmed the CTE center's goal to become the county’s second‑largest high‑school-equivalent campus and said qualified students are on waiting lists for some programs. He noted a partnership with a contractor performing nearby roundabout construction to borrow equipment for the heavy equipment class. Board members expressed support for expanding capacity and included CTE facility upgrades among priorities for the CIP committee.
