CACTC is a comprehensive high school within the Connellsville Area School District that provides 14 quality technical programs and core academic courses on a full-time basis to 11th and 12th grade students. 10th grade students attend the technical programs only during either a morning or afternoon session. The programs offered at Connellsville Area Career & Technical Center are designed for the college-bound student, as well as those preparing to enter directly into the workforce or military upon graduation. “Students Occupationally and Academically Ready” (SOAR) is a Programs of Study model that we follow. Programs of Study emphasizes the importance of following a specific academic and technical scope and sequence of courses that provides the opportunity to gain college credits for work completed at the CTC while still in high school. At CACTC, students experience “hands-on” training through competency based learning, allowing students to progress at their own pace in an authentic setting. The skills taught and equipment used are directed by Advisory Committee members from labor and industry and postsecondary institutions who guide our programs in an effort to meet workforce demands and prepare you for high paying, high skill, and high demand jobs. Emphasis on safety, work ethics, behaviors and attitudes are reinforced by our highly qualified professional staff.
