Enrollment Procedures for Career & Technical Education (CTE) programs at the Career & Technology Academy

Programs at the Career & Technology Academy (CTA) are two-year programs. Students may begin these programs in their Junior Year and will complete them during their Senior year. The enrollment process begins January 1 of the student’s sophomore year.

Waitlist Enrollment Is Now Available

The priority enrollment period was available Jan. 1 and closed Feb. 27, 2025, at 5 p.m. Students who did not submit for consideration during the priority enrollment period may submit a waitlist form. Addition to the waitlist is on a "first-come, first-served" basis. Students on the waiting list may be contacted up until the end of the first week of school if space becomes available in a program. Students will have the opportunity to accept or decline the opportunity when contacted.

Military-Connected Students Enrolling in CCPS

Military-connected students who enroll as rising juniors or seniors as a result of transferring due to a parent or guardian's permanent change of duty station (PCS) on official orders after the last Thursday in February of their 10th grade year will be provided with an opportunity to complete the enrollment process for programs at CTA. If space in a program is not available at the time of the student's enrollment, the student will be given priority consideration on the waitlist for openings if they occur. Rising seniors can be considered for Level I seats (if they do not have prior experience in a program area) if enrolling in the class does not negatively impact their ability to graduate on time. Students who have previously participated in the same or similar programs will be placed in programs as appropriate to their previous level of completion without a further enrollment process. Military-connected rising juniors or seniors should begin the process with CTA enrollment in their comprehensive high schools and school counselors will assist further with CTA program enrollment options.
