Sarah Vasquez, CTE Director

At Ephrata High School and Ephrata Middle School, we are committed to providing students with a wide range of opportunities that not only support them in earning their high school diploma but also in preparing for life beyond graduation. In alignment with the Washington State Board of Education’s vision for a diploma that is flexible, meaningful, and achievable, our students can explore a variety of engaging courses—ranging from agriculture and business to health sciences and more. These programs allow students to discover their passions, build valuable skills, and create post-secondary plans that reflect their individual goals and dreams. Our mission is to ensure every student has the support, resources, and opportunities they need to succeed now and in the future.
