It’s Our Commitment to Your Success That Sets Us Apart



At the CRTC we are all in on providing our students and staff with the options and opportunities to succeed in school, careers and life. It’s more than a mission statement for us, it’s a pervasive mindset that guides everything we do, and inspires us to continually refine and innovate the way we conduct our day-to-day business. 

That’s one reason why CRTC enrollment has grown 36% over the past decade, while regional high school enrollment has dropped by 17%, and why we are able to attract accomplished industry professionals like Chef Adam Parker (see related article in this issue) to teach our Career Pathway programs. Go to our new website (see related article) and read how Computer Engineering senior Marion Bradbury calls her CRTC experience a “game changer,” and how former Health Science student Heather Stiles says that her CRTC education was “the most important career step I could possibly have taken in high school.”


Our innovative SPUR assessment process was developed here to give our students the opportunity to take ownership of their education and learn to advocate for themselves and their grades. Our DOK (Depth of Knowledge) process sets students on a structured pathway to identify and quantify their progress on deeper, career-aligned understandings. Our CRTC+, work-based learning and one-of-a-kind Career Communications (see related article) programs were developed and continue to thrive because we are set up to inspire, engage and support our students to push the envelope of their abilities by taking true ownership of their college and career development.


By focusing on positive engagement, progressive programs and layered support systems, we’ve created a culture at the CRTC that challenges students to explore their career interest and ambitions, and a learning environment that gives them the tools and the confidence they need to be successful.
