Is Science the Proper Metaphor for Educational Research?

Welcome to Career and Technical Education (CTE) in Lincoln Public Schools.

Students in LPS are required to take 15 hours of Applied Arts Credits (with at least 5 credits in Fine Arts and 5 credits in Applied Arts (CTE courses) to meet graduation requirements. In addition, students are required to take 10 hours of technology requirements that are met through many CTE courses. After taking a progression of CTE courses, many students are also able to count their CTE high school courses for college credit through arrangements with possecondary institutions.
