Career and Technical Education
In the past several years, CSISD has seen tremendous growth in its Career and Technical Education (CTE) program enrollment. Since 2019, the number of students in grades 7-12 who are taking CTE courses has skyrocketed from 3,692 to 5,099, an increase of 38%. CSISD offers 90 different CTE courses.
With 2021 bond funds, CSISD is beginning to address the needs of students in these courses by constructing phase 1 of the CTE center, which consists of an agricultural barn to house animals. The 2023 bond would address additional program growth and offerings with the following projects:
CTE Center - Phase 2 - $32.150 million
- This project would include an extension of Phase 1 with additional pens for cattle, goats and pigs.
- A show arena would be designed and built as a multi-purpose facility which could be used for an assortment of indoor events.
- CTE classrooms would be added to expand courses such as veterinary medicine, food science, and two additional flexible classrooms.
- Additional parking / lighting
CTE Cosmetology Lab at CVHS - $1.355 million
- A portion of College View High School would be converted to a cosmetology lab large enough to accommodate 50 students (25 per block) each year. It would be designed to meet Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation requirements allowing students to obtain a cosmetology license while in high school.
