Sarah Heath has worked in Career and Technical Education (CTE) her whole career as a high school business and computer science teacher, state program director for Business and Computer Science in Georgia, a local system CTE and concurrent enrollment administrator in Jeffco Public Schools in Colorado, and now as the State Director of CTE in Colorado. In her current position, she supports all secondary and post-secondary CTE programs in Colorado. Colorado is fairly unique in that all CTE programs for secondary and post-secondary are managed and supported by one state agency, the Colorado Community College System. This provides Sarah and the Colorado CTE the ability to work with programs and students along their career pathway from 7th grade into the workforce either through direct placement after their high school CTE program or a post-secondary CTE program. Increasing workforce education and preparation is her life’s passion and she is fortunate to have a team of people who feel the same way helping her serve Colorado. She has served as the National President of the Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE), which has a mission is to increase support for Career and Technical Education and general career development across the country. She also is proud that all three of her degrees are from the University of Georgia – Go Dawgs!
