What is Career and Technology Studies?

CTS is a strategy developed by the Prairie Rose S.D.

Enables students to access Senior Years Technology Education options. (not a vocational school but opportunities)

CTS aligns learning opportunities in school and community settings that result in highly individualized, flexible programming.

Optional courses from Technology Education (Electronics, Building Systems, Home Economics, and Business/ Computer Studies) are combined with community-based “Career Internship”, and Career Path Management activity from across the curriculum to create 'programs'.

Technology Education

Integrating technology into classrooms- GPS/GIS- Soil and Water kits- Precision Ag Biotechnology- Agro-ecology- Robotics (Lego Mindstorms) - Wind Turbines

Summer Camps – RRC- Animation Club- Girls in Gaming- Envirothon

Career Internship

Community-based options and credits
