Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSO)

Career & Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs) recognize and promote the concept of well-rounded students as being essential for all students in order for them to assume successful roles in society and in the labor market.

In general, CTSOs help to improve the quality and relevance of classroom instruction, develop student leadership, enhance citizenship responsibilities, and serve students of special populations.

As such, each CTSO must support a career cluster.  Lincoln County currently has five active career and technical student organizations (CTSO).

Please see an advisor to learn more and/or join one of these great organizations.
