United ISD is proud to announce its selection as a Career and Technical Education (CTE) District of Distinction by the Career and Technical Association of Texas (CTAT). This prestigious recognition celebrates districts across Texas that demonstrate exemplary leadership, innovation, and commitment to student success through high-quality CTE programs.
The CTE District of Distinction program, launched by CTAT, highlights districts that excel in workforce readiness, foster innovation in CTE, and inspire others through their dedication to student achievement and community impact. Honored districts are selected based on their ability to meet rigorous criteria that include innovative programming, industry based certifications, alignment with workforce needs, and exceptional student outcomes.
"Being named a CTE District of Distinction is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our educators, administrators, and students,” said UISD CTE Director, Dr. Angelica Sanchez. “We are proud to lead the way in providing robust, future-focused CTE opportunities that prepare our students for success in the workforce."
