1. Our students are professional

Carroll County Career and Tech Center strives to give students an authentic, real-life experience.  Our classrooms look like the shop, business, hospital, restaurant, and salon that students will work in once they graduate from CCCTC. Further, their teachers have worked in the chosen field and know what it takes to be successful.  Students are asked to achieve industry standards in safety, planning, preparing, and producing. BUT that is not all that sets our students apart after they graduate.  CCCTC also stresses professional standards.  Every program stresses professionalism and every student's professionalism is evaluated.
