PCJTED - Santa Rita High School

Pima County Joint Technical Education District (JTED) at Santa Rita High School serves as a specialized career and technical education (CTE) hub for students in the Tucson area. Operated in partnership with the Tucson Unified School District, this campus provides high school students with hands-on, industry-aligned training designed to bridge the gap between secondary education and the workforce. By offering state-of-the-art facilities and curriculum, the program allows students to earn industry certifications and college credits while simultaneously completing their high school graduation requirements.

The program is structured to empower students by focusing on skill development in high-demand fields, providing a practical alternative or supplement to traditional academic pathways. Through its location at the Santa Rita campus, Pima JTED fosters a professional learning environment where students can explore potential careers, build portfolios, and gain real-world experience. This model not only enhances employability for graduates entering the job market immediately but also provides a strong academic foundation for those planning to pursue post-secondary education or specialized technical training.
