Career and Technical Education
Career and Technical Education provides challenging career pathways for all students by harnessing real world experiences while expanding skills sets, attitudes and beliefs.

CTE provides several other offerings, including SkillsUSA, HOSA and DECA.

Extended Day
Extended Day is a form of before and after-school care offered on school campuses for children of working parents who must stay after the end of each school day to complete their employment obligations. Students are supervised by adults and participate in educationally enriching activities. From 1987-1988 to 1990-1991, public and private elementary schools with Extended Day programs had higher than national average participation.
Trojan Extended Day (TED) offers TVS students in grades PreK-4 an engaging and safe before- and after-school experience that emphasizes indoor/outdoor play while providing homework time and snack breaks. Coordinated by Cynthia Davis, TED Coordinator.
Families enrolling their children in TED sessions will be charged monthly fees which will be billed through Amilia accounts. Fees are calculated based on a school-year calendar and don’t take into account school closures, holidays or teacher planning days.
