    CTE ACADEMIES

    CTE Academies are very popular among students across UPCS.  Every high school has a CTE Academy that students can attend if they complete the CTE Academy Application (opens in early spring for the next school year) and meet specific requirements for the Academy.  

    If accepted into an Academy, students are responsible for their own transportation to the chosen Academy.  Here are the CTE Academy locations:
