Admissions

Programs at the Career & Technology Academy (CTA) are two-year programs. Students may begin these programs in the Junior Year and will complete them during the 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 January 1 and closed February 29, 2024 at 5:00 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 will 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.

Waitlist Form

If the student completes the CTA Enrollment Form DURING the Priority Enrollment Period:

• If there are equal to or fewer students interested in a program than there are spaces available, all students who completed during the priority enrollment period will receive a placement in the program. These students will be contacted no later than the last week of March.
• If there are more students interested in a program than there are spaces available, students who are interested in the program will move to the next step.
  • All interested students will be required to attend an orientation session for the program.
  • All students who attended orientation will be entered into a lottery.
  • Names are drawn at random until the program is full.
  • Any remaining students are added to a waiting list.
  • Students are notified of their placement status no later than the last week of March.

If the student completes the CTA Enrollment Form any time AFTER the priority enrollment period has ended on the last Thursday of February:

• Students who complete the enrollment form after the priority enrollment period are automatically added to a waiting list.
• These students are placed on the waiting list after any lotteries are held for programs with high interest.

Students on the waiting list will 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.
