Welcome to Onslow County Career & Technical Education

Our Mission

The Onslow County Schools community will prepare students to be globally competitive leaders and responsible citizens.

Career & Technical Education provides course offerings that meet student needs, interests, abilities, and aspirations.  The availability of specific courses is determined by opportunities for employment, advanced education and practical life application.

• Agriculture Education
• Business, Finance, and Marketing Education

Each high school has a Career Development Coordinator (CDC) to support the school-to-career connection and facilitate business/industry partnerships.
