Welcome to Golden Valley High School CTE Career Pathways!
 
This is the path to the competitive advantage of earning and learning after high school graduation! Career Technical Education Pathways at Golden Valley High School offer technical job skills, knowing what to study in college based on your interests, the confidence to build your future with authenticity, and a network of likeminded friends.
 
Our Grizzly Pathway Completers earn more than credits for elective classes (but they do earn credits for every course!). Many of our students use CTE to build job ready skills while preparing for college, which means they have great options to earn cash while they go to college. Some pathways offer dual enrollment college classes while in high school and/or earn industry certifications that lead to good paying entry level jobs as they graduate high school.
