White House High School Career & Technical Pathways
Beginning Fall 2009 in Tennessee, all high school freshmen will be required to choose a Program of Study to follow until graduation. Sumner County and the Tennessee’s Career and Technical Education (CTE) Division has adopted the National Career Clusters Model of 16 career clusters and is developing programs of study within these clusters. Each High School has developed at least one program of study within this model. Programs of study will present a clear focus on relevant content needed by students for a sequential rigorous course of study leading to a career or postsecondary study in an area of concentration.
Some courses may be offered on a rotating basis. Students completing the CTE elective focus must complete three units in the same program area.
