Welcome to Career Tech West! We are thankful for your interest in our 8 programs: Health Science, Engineering, Digital Media, Information Technology, Culinary, Automotive, Construction, and Welding. We serve approximately 650 students from high schools in DeSoto County. They come to us to explore their careers and find their calling! It is our mission to help students discover what they love to do and decide what path is best for them. We celebrate all our students (whether college or career bound) and are thankful to be a small part of their incredible journey.
Career Tech West will be the very best part of your day! Our students enjoy the opportunity to leave their high schools and come to Career Tech for one block of time each day August through May.
Over 1,000 students apply for this campus each year. It is a two-year program, and students can apply at the beginning of their 9th grade year.
Students can earn certifications in most of their programs, and last year alone over 300 national certifications were earned throughout our district. Students can be a certified technician even before they graduate high school!
