Career and technical pathways
I believe students deserve credible routes into college, skilled trades, credentials, service, entrepreneurship, and careers.

The issue
A strong district prepares students for multiple definitions of success after graduation.
Why it matters in Katy ISD
Career and Technical Education can connect coursework with industry credentials, work-based learning, and regional employer needs.
What the Board controls
The Board sets priorities, funds programs, approves partnerships, and reviews access and outcomes.
What’s already happening
Katy ISD already has a major career and technical education asset in Miller Career & Technology Center (MCTC), where juniors and seniors from across the district can take specialized programs while remaining enrolled at their home high school. MCTC offers pathways across Business & Industry, Public Service, and STEM and includes work-based learning such as mentorships, internships, and job shadowing. As a trustee, I would focus on access, completion, industry credentials, employer partnerships, student demand, transportation, and whether programs are aligned with real postsecondary and workforce opportunities.
My approach
I would build on what MCTC already does well. Strengthen pathways with demonstrated student demand and labor-market relevance, widen access across campuses, and maintain strong academic foundations.
What I would ask and measure
- Program access across campuses
- Credential completion
- Work-based learning and employer partnerships
- Student outcomes after graduation
