Career & Technical Education (CTE)

Career & Technical Education (CTE)

Career and technical education covers a variety of challenging fields in diverse subject areas which are constantly evolving due to the changing global economy.

CTE prepares young adults for a wide range of careers. These careers may require varying levels of education – from high school and postsecondary certificates to two- and four-year college degrees. Career and technical education is offered at Florence High School, Poston Butte High School, and San Tan Foothills High School through on-campus programs.  Additional CTE Programs are offered off campus at CAVIT (Central Arizona Valley Institute of Technology), Central Arizona College-Signal Peak Campus, and Central Arizona College-San Tan Campus.

CTE Program Fees
For the FUSD Central Arizona College (CAC) CTE Programs, all fees for all students are covered.  This includes tuition, books, uniforms, and industry certification testing.   Students must be in good standing with the college and pass their college classes to stay in the program.  If a student drops the CAC course after the official CAC deadline and before the end of the semester or fails the class at the end of the semester, the student is responsible for paying all fees directly to CAC as they will remain as a balance on their CAC account. 

For more information about all CTE programs, contact the FUSD CTE Director at tcelaya@fusdaz.org or by phone at 520-866-3573.

CAC Concurrent Enrollment Exceptional Student Services (ESS) Notice

Central Arizona College (CAC) concurrent enrollment will work differently for high school students on an IEP or 504. By law, FUSD is not allowed to share IEP/504 information directly to CAC.  Students need to advocate for themselves; but FUSD ESS and CTE staff are here to assist our high school students in the process.

The process consists of the student making an appointment with the Student Accessibility Director.  Appointments can be made on the Central Arizona College website or by calling either 520-494-5275 or 520-464-5904. 

We work to set the appoints virtually during the school day so the student’s FUSD Case Manager and/or CTE staff can be in on the meeting with the student and CAC representative.

After the meeting, documentation must be sent to CAC.  Click here to view the documentation guidelines > 

Once CAC has all the documentation needed, CAC will share the IEP/504 information with the CAC instructor who is doing concurrent classes.

If you have further questions about concurrent enrollment for IEP/504 students, please email Tracey Celaya, FUSD CTE Director, or call her at 520-866-3573.  Or you can reach out directly to CAC’s Student Accessibility Director at studentaccessibility@centralaz.edu or by phone at 520-494-5524.
