Career & Technical Education (CTE)
To be career-ready, a person must first effectively navigate the various pathways connecting education to employment. Those various pathways may include Dual Credit, Running Start, Alternative Learning Experiences, Work-based Learning, and Career and Technical Education. These programs provide students with an opportunity to become career and college ready. A career is more than just a job; it can provide financial independence and a rewarding lifestyle. A successful career in our ever-changing global economy requires adaptability and a commitment to lifelong learning, along with attainment of specific knowledge and skills. Snoqualmie Valley’s Career and Technical Education programs will help all SVSD students navigate the pathways so they are ready to find their own fulfilling and rewarding careers

What’s Happening in CTE
We continue our National CTE Month campaign by highlighting Mount Si High School's DECA program, where students develop business, marketing, and leadership skills through real-world competition. We are spotlighting three DECA students who are headed to STATE and eyeing a spot at the International Competition in Orlando, Fla!
The 2024-25 Cascade Cinema 60 Hour Challenge brought together student filmmakers from Mount Si, Newport, Tahoma, and Lake Washington High Schools for an exhilarating weekend of creativity and collaboration. Over the course of just 60 hours, 13 teams crafted original short films, embracing the challenge prompts and putting their storytelling skills to the test.
This month, we celebrate the incredible impact of CTE programs, which provide students with hands-on learning experiences in high-demand career fields. From agriculture to engineering, health sciences to business, CTE prepares students for future success!
On January 25, 2025, the Mount Si Mock Trial students showcased their skills in a series of scrimmages at Jefferson County Courthouse. Competing against Port Townsend High School and Tacoma School of the Arts, our students received invaluable feedback on their case from practicing and retired judges and attorneys. These scrimmages provided an excellent opportunity for our team to refine their arguments and strategies.
We are proud to announce that two of our students, Matthew Golovanov and Alexandra Ritter, have successfully earned the Certiport IT Specialist, Device Configuration and Management Certification during the 1st semester!
