Listed below are the Career and Technical Education instructors and the CTE courses offered at RCHS by department.  

Rockingham County High School's Career and Technical Education Department offers a wide selection of courses that allow students the opportunity to investigate a wide variety of work ready courses.  Currently students in the Common Core Course of study are encouraged to complete a pathway of four related courses with one being a second level course. The second level course is called the completer course.  Students that complete a pathway with a completer course leave high school with skills that enable them to enter into the work force.
