Our CTE Cooperative

The North Central CTE Cooperative encompasses 10 schools in 4 counties in North Central Indiana. Each school offers CTE programs to their students, known as building based programs. All students have access and opportunity to participate in our shared programs.

Director's Message

As the Director of the North Central Career and Technical Education Cooperative, I am excited to provide opportunities for students across our region to explore a variety of career pathways and hone their interests before leaving high school. Whenever possible, we intentionally tailor our programming toward careers that are applicable to everyday life and that have both a large demand in our region as well as a high earning potential.

Our mission within our CTE programs is to empower students to maximize their potential and develop academic, technical and employability skills that they can apply right away in a job, college course, or the military. Our aim is to prepare our students to achieve their goals and be agile and adapt to an ever changing future.

I have been in public education for almost 15 years and have served as an administrator in a several capacities for the last 5 in career and technical education, emergent bilingual education, and other building and district level positions. While in the classroom I taught biomedical sciences, as well as a variety of other sciences from middle school computing through college level biology. I'm excited to continue this cooperative's legacy of working with the educators and community partners in our area to help every student in our programs achieve at the highest levels.
