The Mount Washington Valley Career and Technical Center located at Kennett High School in North Conway, NH currently educates students in 11 programs of study: Advanced Manufacturing; Automotive Technology; Business Education; Building Trades; Computer Aided Design and Drafting; Computer Science; Culinary Arts; Graphic Arts; Health Science Technology; Marketing Education; and Teacher Education. Each of these programs is aligned with learning competencies developed by teachers and industry leaders to best prepare students for the future. Some programs provide industry level certifications as well. While skills training has long been the hallmark of vocational programs—the precursors to modern Career and Technical Education (CTE)—today’s CTE programs include rigorous academic preparation as well. This gives students the opportunity to be successful whether they choose to enter the workplace directly or continue their studies at a community college or university.
