Clovis High School students have access to several different Career Technical Education (CTE) pathway programs. CTE empowers students to make meaningful career choices by providing opportunities to explore their interests, develop career skills, and reinforce academics. These programs engage students by making education relevant through a combination of rigorous academics, demanding technical education and real-world experience.

CART provides a 75,000 state-of-the-art research and technology facility where students design and complete projects in collaboration with partners from the local, national, and international business community.

Participation in CART is a privilege for eleventh and twelfth grade students. Each year, Clovis High School has more students attending CART than any other high school in Clovis or Fresno Unified and this is a tradition we hope to continue for many years to come.

Transportation is provided between Clovis High and CART. Students who are selected to enroll, attend half-day classes in one of the 16 laboratories taught by teams of instructors from both education and business. Interested students must apply online and are selected through a lottery process.

 

*See CART Brochure for prerequisite requirements.

CTE/ROP prepares students for further education at colleges and universities, employment, or advanced technical training. Students also develop positive work attitudes and behaviors. Transportation is provided between Clovis High and Clovis East making it easy for students to access additional course offerings.

 

 

The Agriculture Science CTE Pathway is part of the Agriculture Department at Clovis East High School. All CUSD high school students are welcome to enroll in these classes and participate in the National FFA Organization. Clovis FFA was established in 1932 and has continued its tradition of excellence in Agriculture, Leadership, and Citizenship. Agriculture Education is a multi-faceted program that includes classroom instruction, supervised agriculture experience, and FFA. All agriculture classes are offered on the Clovis East campus and transportation is provided for Clovis High students.

 

The Teaching Pathway program connects learning in the classroom with real-world applications and is an excellent opportunity for any student considering a career in education. The Teacher pathway has articulation agreements with Clovis Community College, Reedley College, and Madera Community College Center allowing students to earn college credits while still in high school. The long term objective is to develop a "grow your own" teacher development program within Clovis Unified to produce an increasing number of high-quality teachers that mirror the culture and diversity of the students we serve.

Students who successfully participate in and complete the Teacher Pathway program will receive the following benefits:
