• 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.
