CTE - Business and Marketing Pathway

The business and marketing pathway connects students to the fundamentals of efficient and productive business operations. Courses help students learn what it takes to own and operate a business as well as to create advertising campaigns in order to promote a business.

Career and Technical Student Organization

A career and technical student organization (CTSO) is an extracurricular group for students in CTE pathways to further their knowledge and skills by participating in activities, events, and competitions. Students within the Business and Marketing program at Lewis-Palmer High School have the opportunity to participate in DECA (Distributive Education Clubs of America) and/or FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America).

DECA prepares emerging leaders and entrepreneurs in marketing, finance, hospitality and management in high schools and colleges around the globe and FBLA inspires and prepares students to become community-minded business leaders in a global society through relevant career preparation and leadership experiences.

Program Advisory Committee

A CTE Program Advisory Committee is a group of individuals whose experience and abilities represent a cross section of a particular occupational area. The primary purpose of the CTE Program Advisory Committee is to assist educators in establishing, operating, and evaluating the CTE program – which serves the needs of the students, the community, and the business/industry partners – and to provide expertise and insight about current/future industry and technological changes.

Each CTE Program reflects on their strengths and sets goals to address challenges.  A Program of Work is then created that guides the actions and discussions of the Advisory Committee.  The LPHS Business and Marketing Program of Work can be accessed via the following link:

Programs of Study

A CTE program of study is a comprehensive, structured approach for delivering academic and career and technical education to prepare students for postsecondary education and career success. It consists of a coherent sequence of academic and career and technical courses offering students the opportunity to earn an industry-recognized credential or certificate at the secondary or postsecondary level, or an associate or baccalaureate degree related to the focus of the program of study.
