Irving ISD Career and Technical Education (CTE) is proud to recognize three of its pathways with the Five Star Designation. 

“This designation represents excellence in CTE programs across the district,” says Travis Waddell, director of CTE for Irving ISD. “Programs that earned the prestigious distinction went above and beyond in giving students real-world, hands-on career opportunities that exceeded district expectations.”
