Chart Your Own Course 

It all starts at Cumberland High School.

At Cumberland High School, we encourage students to chart their own course. CTE programs at CHS help students do just that, navigating them closer to their dreams and aspirations. Whether students are passionate about law and public safety, technology, science, or robotics, we have a pathway tailored to them.

In accordance with our mission statement, we believe every student can succeed when learning is purposeful, inclusive, and reflective. We are committed to developing graduates who collaborate effectively with others, communicate skillfully across a variety of contexts, and respect diverse perspectives as a global citizen. We prepare students to understand their role in a connected world and to engage thoughtfully with local and global communities. Through reflection, feedback, and a growth mindset, our students learn to be thoughtful practitioners, make informed decisions, and continuously improve. Together, these values guide our work as we prepare students to thrive beyond high school as engaged learners and responsible citizens. 

Our CTE programs, certified by the Rhode Island Department of Education, give students a head start through workforce experience and college-level courses and credits. We help mold the future leaders of our world to be creative thinkers, innovative designers, and independent individuals long after they leave the Cumberland High campus.

The application for CHS CTE programs for the 2025-26 school year is now OPEN.  The application review team will meet quarterly to review completed applications, and families will be notified once their student’s application has been reviewed.
