Abstract	The Career and Technical Education program (CTE) in the Houston Independent School District (HISD) has a mission to equip students with the marketable academic and technical skills needed to compete in the global workforce and/or to continue their education at the post-secondary level after graduation. Consequently, the goals of the CTE program are: (1) to provide students with relevant and up-to-date instruction within their career pathway(s) of interest; (2) to offer an advanced curriculum that can lead to industry certifications; (3) to expose students to out-of-classroom and real-world work experiences; and (4) to implement professional development that focuses on best practices in career and technical education. By enrolling in CTE courses and participating in CTE program components, students are empowered to strengthen the economic and social foundation of the local community and beyond. The purpose of this evaluation report is to present: (1) demographic characteristics of CTE participants; (2) CTE program components and course offerings; and (3) the test performance of CTE students in comparison to their non-CTE school peers. This report assesses the program participation and academic performance of CTE participants from the past two years, 2011-2013, as compared to non-CTE students. This report also includes a summary of the course offerings and program components implemented in the CTE program. (ERIC).
