This is Career Tech.

Let’s talk real numbers and honest sweat. The modern trades are high-tech, high-paying, and cooler than they’ve ever been. If you’re a hardworking person who learns by doing, welcome home.

CTE gives you the blueprint to command top dollar in the real world. We don’t care about checkboxes; we care about capability.

Half of our students choose the college route, using our credits to get a massive head start. The other half skip the lecture halls to start making money on day one.

Either way, you win. We give you the tools, the tech, and the grit. You find your way.

See for yourself.

Don’t just take our word for it; come see where the real work happens. Step into the labs, check out the tech, and talk face-to-face with the instructors and students who are already carving out their paths. Bring your toughest questions, get honest answers, and figure out your next move.

We offer student-led tours, in addition to an Open House
in December. Learn more at the link below.

This isn't your typical high school grind. Your day is built differently. We split your time straight down the middle to build both your muscle memory and your mind.

The Lab

Half your day is pure action. You’re out of your seat and in the lab, getting your hands dirty and mastering the exact high-tech equipment the pros use. You learn by doing, building tangible skills that command real value in the real world.

The Academics

The other half is about building the brainpower. You’ll lock in the academic credits you need to graduate. Our instructors design these classes to connect directly to the trades. Math, science, and history actually make sense when they apply to your craft.

The Bottom Line: We don't waste your time. You get the grit of the lab, the intellect of the classroom, and a massive head start on a high-paying future.

WCCC High School Application Process

Interested in applying to WCCC? We have the resources available to support you throughout your application process.

*Note: You MUST apply in order to become a student at WCCC.

The 3-Step Enrollment Process

Step 1: Explore & Attend an Event – Students are encouraged to attend a presentation, open house, or school tour to check out programs, visit labs, and meet coordinators.
Step 2: Apply Online – The online application window opens in December, and the priority application window runs through January. Applying during this window gives students the best chance of getting into their first-choice program.
Step 3: Confirm Placement – Once notified of acceptance, students confirm their spot to secure their seat in the program.

Important Admission Rules to Know

It is NOT First-Come, First-Served – Applying on day one does not grant an advantage over someone who applies later in the priority window. All priority applications are evaluated together.
Random Lottery Placement – Many popular programs fill up quickly. If a program has more applicants than available seats, spots are awarded randomly via a computer-generated lottery system.
Residency is the Main Factor – Admission is based entirely on geography. Priority is given to students who reside within the Career Tech Planning District (CTPD). Factors like grades, attendance, and discipline records are not considered for acceptance. Where a student attends school is not factored- their home address is.
Waitlists & Late Applications – Students not selected in the lottery are placed on a waitlist. Applications submitted after the January priority deadline are still accepted but will only be considered on a first-come, first-served basis if spots open up.

Step 1

Commonly Asked Questions

Can I still go to WCCC or attend incoming student events if I'm a Private, Charter, Online or Homeschool student?

Yes! WCCC's high school programs are open to high school students. Priority is given to students who live within our partner districts, and attending one of our partner schools is not a consideration. Students living outside of our partner districts will have their applications processed beginning March 1st with a lottery being used to award seats, if neccessary.

Can I still play sports or go to events like Prom or Homecoming at my home school?

Yes! At WCCC you can stay connected to your home school.

You can choose to participate in both WCCC's and your home school's graduation, prom, homecoming, and more.
If you're a student athlete, you can still compete in sports and activities for your home school.
If you attend one of our partner districts, you can take your home district's transportation to get to and from WCCC.

I am on an IEP or have a 504 plan, does that matter?

We have many students with an IEP and 504 plans. And, we have an entire invention team ready to help every step of the way!

When accepting students, we do not consider (or even know) if a student needs accommodations. If a student is accepted through our blind lottery process, we then work with the home school to get student transcripts and other pertinent information. If a student has an IEP we will set up a transition meeting with our team and the home district to develop a plan of action.

How do I apply?

All students must APPLY and be accepted in order to attend Warren County Career Center.
