CTE- Career and Technical Education
Home
Agriculture, Business, Family and Consumer Science, AG- Shop and Robotics (STEM) at RHS
At Rainier High School we believe all students should have the opportunity to learn job skills. We have five CTE (or formerly Vocational) programs. They are listed below. Our CTE Department is essential to well-rounded student development. We provide "hands-on" classroom opportunities for students throughout their school day. Several of our CTE courses are articulated with local colleges called Dual Credit, so that students receive college credit for the time they spend in class if they earn a B or better. See Dual Credit below. If you have questions or concerns regarding CTE or its programs please contact Director Sandy Rossmaier.
*Tech Prep/Dual Credit is currently under construction at the funding/federal/state level and we hope to continue to offer it at RHS.
