The mission of the Carthage Technical Center is based upon the belief that all people should have the opportunity to prepare themselves for gainful employment and thereby live democratic, useful, and satisfactory lives.

We Believe that each student should acquire the knowledge, skills, and abilities (technical and non-technical) of their chosen career.

We Believe that all students will be given the opportunity to improve their leadership abilities, develop a positive attitude, establish good human relations, and determine their goals in life based upon rational thinking.

We Believe technical education is an integral part of the total education program and contributes toward the development of good citizens by upgrading their physical, social, civic, cultural, economic, and technical competencies.
