CATA serves grades 9-12 and is located in Monroe. We are a magnet high school with six academies: Information Systems, Pre-Engineering, Medical Science, Performing Arts, Transportation Systems and International Academy. Ninth and tenth grades from across the district apply for a spot in one of the academies each year. Ninth-graders are selected based on a lottery for all academies except dance, theatre and music production and recording arts; those three academies participate in an audition process. Tenth-graders are selected on a first-come, first-served basis. Tenth graders applying to the Performing Arts Academy also participate in an audition process.
