Bourgade Catholic High School is committed to academic excellence and creating pathways of success that fit student interests both on and off our campus. Bourgade Catholic offers students the opportunity to learn valuable career skills on our campus, while still in high school!
Bourgade Catholic's CTE programs with a Catholic world view:
- Business Management
- Introduction to Healthcare Professions & CNA
- Sports Medicine
- Digital Communications
Business Management
BCHS’s Business Management program provides students with skills in business practices, marketing, accounting, and entrepreneurship. A key component is the Bourgade Catholic Student Store, where students manage inventory, sales, and customer service. The store offers affordable school uniforms and BCHS-themed accessories, benefiting families while providing real-world business experience.
Introduction to Healthcare Professions & CNA
This two-year program prepares students to earn a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) license before graduation. Students first take Introduction to Healthcare Professions, then enter a state-licensed CNA training program. They gain clinical experience in BCHS’s nursing lab and complete clinical hours at local healthcare facilities, entering the workforce upon certification.
Sports Medicine
The Sports Medicine program teaches injury prevention, treatment, and sports nutrition. Students engage in classroom learning and field trips to sports facilities. In the second year, students can become BCHS Student Athletic Trainers, assisting with sporting events and gaining hands-on experience in BCHS’s athletic training facility.
Digital Communications
Digital Communications introduces students to digital media, content creation, and multimedia production. Students use industry-standard software to create content for digital marketing, photography, and social media, preparing for careers in media production or further academic study.
In addition to our on-campus CTE programs, Bourgade Catholic established a partnership with Western Maricopa Education Center (West-MEC) for additional off-campus programing.
