Career & Technical Education

The Career & Technical Education Department is committed to offering all students opportunities for meaningful career-based learning experiences within the confines of a comprehensive high school setting. The roots of this department can be traced to the early 1960s where terms such as Shop Class and Home Economics were common. H-F’s current Career & Technical Education course offerings reflect the economic and educational landscape of the 21st century, encompassing the study of technologies and related sciences, as well as the acquisition of practical skills, attitudes and knowledge relating to occupations in various sectors of economic and social life. As an integral part of H-F’s comprehensive education program, Career & Technical Education constitutes:

  • Academic subject matter taught with relevance to the real world
  • Employability skills related to the workplace
  • Education pathways that help students explore career interests
