The project was initiated as a solution to a capacity issue that Angleton ISD was facing with its existing High School. The new CTE (Career, Technology, and Engineering) Center was created to remove all the career and technology programs that were housed in the existing High School and move them to a new stand alone Career, Technology and Engineering Center constructed on the same site as the High School and physically connected to it. By doing this the district created more capacity for students in their current High School and was able to remain a one High School town. The new facility is home to Culinary Arts, Cosmetology, Health Sciences, Information Technology, Robotics, Audio Visual Design and Broadcast Journalism, Entrepreneurship, ROTC, Welding, Construction Sciences, Horticulture, Veterinary Tech, and Ag Fabrication programs.
