The Phoenix Union High School District offers courses in 28 state approved Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs.  All programs include a coherent sequence of courses leading to student attainment of the state standards in the program. CTE offers exceptional courses with industry-current curricula and state-of-the-art equipment. Upon graduation, students are prepared to transition successfully to post-secondary education and are equipped with the necessary skills to begin working in a specific career.

Many programs offer opportunities for students to earn college credits through dual enrollment while enrolled in CTE classes. CTE students have opportunities to participate in the Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO) that is directly related to their program.  DECA, FBLA, FCCLA, FEA, HOSA and SkillsUSA are recognized as integral parts of the CTE programs and provide career and leadership development, motivation, and recognition. In addition, these organizations provide students with the opportunity to compete at the local, regional, state, and national levels.   

All programs have active advisory committees comprised of representatives from business and industry, parents, students, and education.  These committees play a crucial role in planning and revising our courses to reflect changes in technology, equipment, and practices in business and industry.
