Endorsements and CTE Completers

Students earn one or more of five endorsements as part of their high school graduation requirements. An endorsement consists of a sequence of courses that are grouped together by interest or occupational skill. They provide students with in-depth knowledge of a subject area of interest. Every Career And Technical Education (CTE) Program of Study offers an opportunity for the student to be designated a CTE completer, which always leads to an endorsement. The state of Texas defines a CTE Completer as a student who completes, passes, and receives credit for three or more high school CTE courses for four or more credits, including at least one level 3 or level 4 course, from within the same program of study. For more information, please refer to the Frisco ISD High School Academic Guide and Course Catalog.
