Magnet Schools

Magnet schools are programs designed for students interested in exploring career and technical pathways.

Next year, CCSD freshmen and sophomores will be able to apply to the new Career and Technical Academy on Gilespie Street and East Starr Avenue. The new school is offering nine programs: Advanced Manufacturing Technologies, Cyber Defense and Advanced Computing Technology, Early Childhood Education, and Entertainment and Sports Marketing.

For those interested in other programs, students can apply for any program from anywhere across the valley. However, if seats are filled at a school, a lottery will be conducted to select entrants.

Additionally, transportation will only be provided to students living within the school’s designated boundary.
