Jarrell ISD Monday Memo

Cougars,

As part of our commitment to educating the whole child, our district is proud to offer a Career and Technical Education (CTE) program that equips students with practical skills and knowledge directly applicable to high-demand industries, bridging the gap between education and employment.

CTE courses foster career readiness by providing hands-on training, internships, and certifications, giving students a competitive edge in the workforce. The type of certifications our students can earn include:

• Visual Design using Photoshop
• Print & Digital Media Publication
• Graphic Design & Illustration

• D1.1 Structural Steel
• D9.1 Sheet Metal Welding

By integrating academic concepts with technical skills, CTE helps students explore career paths, reduces dropout rates, and prepares them for post-secondary education or immediate employment opportunities. Our CTE courses offer dual enrollment opportunities, apprenticeships, and pathways to college degrees, bridging secondary and post-secondary education. Our Pathways include:

Next school year, we’re excited to expand Pathways by adding new courses to include:
