CTE Course Equivalencies

While some graduation requirements must be met by successfully completing specific courses, many requirements may be met successfully by completing CTE courses which are district approved equivalency courses.  The following CTE courses are approved high school equivalency courses that be used to meet both CTE and other graduation requirements.   While these equivalencies are approved to meet district graduation requirements, they may not satisfy college admission requirements in all cases.  Students should check with individual colleges and their counselor for clarification regarding the use of particular equivalency courses.
