  1. Career & Technical Education School District of Palm Beach County Engage, Educate, Empower…

  2. Career-Ready College-Ready “The basic premise is that the responsibility of K-12 educators is to prepare all students for both college and a career. This must be “both/and”, not “either/or”. Students need the same set of skills for both college and the workplace. Academic skills, critical thinking, problem-solving, an ability to synthesize information, communication skills, and the ability to work well on a team” -- Arne Duncan February 2, 2011
