ATTENTION STUDENTS NEW TO CTC NEXT SCHOOL YEAR (2025-26): 

All current 10th and 11th grade students who have been accepted into a Careerline Tech Center program for next fall (except Cosmetology) and are NEW to CTC next school year will be attending CTC's "Acceptance Day" on Tuesday, May 20. Students will have the opportunity to visit the AM or PM program that they will be participating in next year. Busing will be provided, and required, by ZPS.  Specific details for the day will be communicated to students via email in the near future.  Permission forms are not required. We will plan on all new students attending unless you inform your counselor that you are unable to take part in this event.  

Again, this is only for students who will be NEW to CTC next year and already have a placement (not on the waitlist). Cosmetology students will have their own orientation at Tulip City Beauty College this summer.  Thank you!
