Edison Career & Technology High School

School mission

Edison Career and Technology is – More than a high school education. We are a Career and Technical Education School (CTE), or Critical and Timely Education, as we like to call it. At Edison Career and Technology High School, students are provided the opportunity to invent their future — and the foundation you need to make it happen. Edison offers academics, technical training, work-based learning, and support services. Our CTE Pathways connect your high school classes with technical learning, internships, and mentoring to help you get ahead. You can earn industry credentials and college credits, in addition to participating in clubs, sports, and other extra-curricular activities. Put it all together, and you get a one-of-a-kind educational experience.

At Edison Tech, students follow one of four distinct career pathways where they will get hands-on training and on-the-job experience that ties into their class instruction to make their classes more relevant and exciting. Each pathway is designed to prepare students to move in to in-demand career fields or college after graduation.
