Real.

• Portage CTE students earned 997 dual credits last
year. Some of those students earned additional college
credits during their junior year.

• 148 PHS students earned one or more professional
certifications from their CTE class last year.

• Portage is our highest enrollment school. We have
almost 400 students from Portage this year—more than
1/3 of our total ½ day student population

• Portage is a very important partner in our CTE
system. Their administration, counselors, and students
embrace career and technical education as a viable
component of a student’s curriculum.

THANK YOU
For providing an opportunity to recognize
some of our outstanding PHS students here
today.

Career and Technical Education is here to
serve the community and enhance our future
workforce.

Our mission is to provide the opportunity for our
students to be successful at work!
