Secondary Education

The Office of Secondary Education assists district personnel in improving classroom instruction through the development, revision, and training on our Mississippi College- and Career-Readiness Standards in both Academic and Career Technical Education (CTE). Through training and development, our content area specialists and program staff help school and district personnel implement state standards, as well as best practices for improving student achievement.
