Preparing Students for the BEST of Their Lives!

The Dougherty County School System's Career, Technical and Agricultural Education (CTAE) pathways ensure that students receive the relevant and rigorous preparation required to continue their education beyond high school graduation whether at a community college, on-the-job training program, four-year college, graduation school, or in military service.

The Career, Technical and Agricultural Education Department prepares students for life beyond the classroom by providing them with employability skills, along with the background needed to succeed in post-secondary institutions. Courses are designed based on current data and research in business and industry to give students the ultimate advantage upon exiting high school.

Students also have an opportunity to prepare for and take the Work Ready Career Assessment. For more information, please visit http://www.gaworkready.org.
