Most schools have some type of career and technical program and several nearby school districts, such as Denton and Mansfield, have centralized facilities.

Students can take courses for college credit in engineering graphics and accounting while still attending their regular high school. They develop computer skills with animated videos or learn chemistry basics with gourmet cooking classes. This year, 93 percent of the 800 students who took classes at the center are going to college. Only 4 percent selected technical school.
