Career and Technical Student Organizations

A career technical student organization (CTSO) is an integral part of each program area's curriculum. The CTSOs are:

• DECA for Marketing Education
• Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA)for Business Education
• Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) for Family and Consumer Sciences Education
• FFA for Agricultural Education
• Health Occupations Student Association (HOSA) for Health Occupations Education
• Technology Student Association (TSA) for Technology Education
• SkillsUSA for Trade and Industrial Education

Any student enrolled in a workforce development course is eligible for membership in the vocational student organization associated with that program.

CTSOs develop citizenship, technical, leadership, and teamwork skills essential for students who are preparing for the workforce and further education. They enhance students' civic awareness and provide opportunities for developing social competencies and a wholesome attitude about living and working. CTSOs provide a unique instructional method for attaining the competency goals and objectives identified in each course. Their activities are considered a part of the instructional day when they are directly related to the competencies and objectives in course blueprints.
