Pima JTED students in the Fire Science Class work with a wildland firefighter.

  High school sophomores, juniors and seniors living within the boundaries of a JTED member school district, who do not yet have their high school diploma or GED, and their parents, are invited to attend Pima County JTED Program Showcases to learn more about what opportunities are available to prepare them for entry into the modern workforce upon graduation from high school. This includes students of the Mammoth-San Manuel School District.

  Being college ready means more than ever, including  obtaining postsecondary credentials.  In the past, it was estimated that only 38 percent of jobs will be available to individuals without some education and training after high school by the year 2018.  Pima JTED  offers students a free chance to ready themselves for college and career while still in high school through JTED.

  Pima County Joint Technical Education District (JTED)  is a tuition-free public high school district  that offers premier Career and Technical Education programs. It serves students under the age of 22 who have not earned a diploma or GED, and students from public, private and charter schools, and, those who are home-schooled.  Classes will be attended at one of the Central campuses or a satellite location.

  Pima JTED Central Campus Program Showcases, all of which will be held from 5 p.m. – 6:30 p.m., are listed below by location, date and name. Parents and San Manuel High School students who might be interested in any of these programs are welcome to attend the showcase and see for themselves what Pima JTED is all about.
