Abstract	The mission of the Houston Independent School District's (HISD) Career and Technical Education (CTE) program is to empower students with the academic and technical skills needed to strengthen the economic and social foundation of the city of Houston and beyond. The program's goals and objectives focus on preparing students for success in their field of interest following graduation. This 2014-15 summative report provides an overview of the initiatives of the CTE program, academic results, and matriculation rates of CTE students in HISD. Key findings include: (1) There was a 3.4 percent increase in CTE enrollment overall from the 2013-2014 school year to the 2014-2015 school year. The number of CTE 2 and 3 students, who were enrolled in a coherent sequence, was 20,905 in 2014-2015, a 46.5 percent increase from the 2013-2014 school year. There was a 29.4 percent decrease in the number of CTE 1 students, who were enrolled in CTE classes as electives, from 18,737 in 2013-2014 to 13,232 in 2014-2015; (2) Following the same trend from 2014 State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) End-of-Cource (EOC) results, CTE students outperformed non-CTE students on all 2015 STAAR EOC exams; (3) There was a 13.5 percent increase in the total number of CTE graduates, from 3,475 graduates in the spring of 2013 to 3,943 graduates in the spring of 2014; and (4) The percentages of CTE students from the ninth-grade cohort graduating from high school in a four-year period increased from 2013 to 2014 (90.1 percent for the class of 2013 to 91.5 percent for the class of 2014). These rates exceed the graduation rates of the district as a whole. (ERIC).
