Mission Statement:
"Embracing its diversity, ETHS dedicates itself to educating all students to their fullest potential."
[ Vision Statement ]
The mission of the ETHS Applied Sciences and Technologies Department is to provide students with real-world career and job-related skills so they can successfully pursue post-secondary options upon graduation.
The Applied Sciences and Technology Department is built around the Career Pathways Program. Career Pathways is a program of study that prepares students for career opportunities in five broad career strands: Arts and Communication, Business/Management and Information Systems, Health Science/Human Services, Industry/Engineering, and Environmental/Natural Resources. Within each career strand students are able to pursue an area of interest that could lead to a four-year college or university, community college or technical school, TechPrep or apprenticeship program, or directly into a career choice upon graduation from ETHS.
Specifically, Career Pathways introduces students to career areas through course work and on-site work experiences. Introductory courses called "Smart Labs" equip students with all the materials, tools, and equipment they need to investigate a career area. Computer-based activities simulate career skills while integrating the academic core areas of math, science, language arts, social science, and visual arts.
