CTE Monthly Newsletter
August 2021
Welcome Back!
Our mission at East Chicago Central High School is to help our students become college, career, and/or military ready. Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs are a great way for our students to reach these goals. CTE has many benefits for our students and community. CTE programs help to increase graduation, reach at-risk students, retain students, strengthen community ties, and keep students engaged in hands-on learning.
Please reach out to Maren Lee (CTE Director) with any questions or if you are interested in becoming involved with our CTE programs. We are looking forward to a great school year!
