Why RVHS Students Should Take CTE Classes

Why RVHS Students Should Take CTE Classes
Posted on 01/27/2026

Career & Technical Education (CTE) classes give RVHS students real-world skills they can use now and in the future, no matter what path they choose after high school.

CTE classes help you:

  • Learn hands-on skills instead of just sitting at a desk
  • Explore careers before spending money on college or training
  • Build résumés and job skills employers actually want
  • Improve leadership, communication, and teamwork
  • Apply math, science, and reading to real-life situations
  • Compete in FFA or FCCLA, and other competitions
  • Save money by earning industry skills early
  • Stand out in college applications, scholarships, and job interviews

CTE courses like agriculture, family & consumer sciences, business, technology, and trades connect classroom learning to real careers, ranging from veterinary science and ag mechanics to marketing, welding, and leadership development.

Whether you plan to:

  • go to college
  • enter the workforce
  • join the military, or
  • start your own business

CTE classes give you a head start.

At RVHS, CTE isn’t just about careers, it’s about confidence, skills, and opportunity. Try one class…you might find your future!
