Career & Technical Education

The Career and Technical Education Vision in the Shoreline School District

The Shoreline School District believes all students should graduate from high school having completed a planned sequence of courses that allows them to explore their interests, and develop connections through what is taught in each classroom to their lives outside of school and their future. Shoreline further believes that students can best achieve success by approaching their Career and Technical classes using a Career Pathway model.

What are Career Pathways?

Pathways are a planned sequence of study that aligns student interests and abilities with coursework that can lead to advanced placement in post secondary institutions, industry certification, and/or the ability to leave high school and earn a living wage. The purpose of Career Pathways is to help students make informed choices as they begin the transition from high school to post secondary. There are six Pathways identified by NEVAC and its member school districts: Arts and Communication, Business and Marketing Management, Business, Finance and Operations, Science and Engineering, Social and Health Services, and Technology, Trades, and Manufacturing. CTE courses are offered through Shorewood and Shorecrest High School as well as other NEVAC member high schools.
