CTE Student Organizations

What is a CTSO?

All Career and Technical Education Programs utilize a delivery system made up of four integral parts: formal/technical instruction, experiential learning, supervised occupational experience, and the Career and Technical Student Organizations. These organizations provide CTE Students with leadership, collaboration, and real-world experiences. Below is the list of opportunities offered to CTE students in the Tempe Union High School District and the related programs.
