About CTE
MHS CTE Program Admission
Medford High School offers 17 Chapter 74 approved Career and Technical Education (CTE) Programs. An admission process is necessary in vocational technical schools where space is a limiting factor. Vocational technical laboratories (shops) are designed and equipped to serve a specific maximum number of students safely. Consequently, a complex of such laboratories lacks both the space and flexibility to accommodate the possible needs and/or interests of all applicants. All students in grade 9, have the opportunity to join the CTE Exploratory Program. For students seeking admission to one of the CTE programs, a lottery for admission will be used for any program that reaches full capacity. Applicants to grades ten through twelve will be evaluated using the criteria contained in this Admission Policy.
