Career and Technical High school magnets offer outstanding STEM and Career and Technical Education as well as many other specialized programs. While the majority of the CTA high school programs are interest-based, some do have entrance criteria. (Please visit this link for criteria information.) All of our CTA high school magnet schools are whole school magnets meaning that all students that attend those schools have applied and were chosen by the lottery to attend. Students that live within the designated magnet transportation zone of the school that they choose will receive transportation. Students that attend a CTA can participate in sports offered at their neighborhood zoned high school. SECTA is the only CTA that offers some sports on its campus.
