At Judson Independent School District, students are more than just prepared for the real world when they graduate.

How? They're equipped for successful careers in high-demand fields through Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs.

Major league learning

These high school programs offer comprehensive courses that combine academic learning with hands-on, real-world experiences, culminating in industry certifications and post-secondary credentials.

Judson ISD offers 29 unique programs of study, designed to prepare students for high-skill, high-wage, and in-demand careers in the Lone Star State. Focusing on relevant experience, the curriculum ensures students graduate ready to enter the workforce or continue their education.

Pro tip: Courses have been approved by the Texas Education Agency following the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (Perkins V).

Curious about the impact? This year alone, students have earned over 700 certifications across diverse fields, including Health Science, Welding, Automotive, and Cosmetology.
