Welcome to Central Lake Public Schools

Did you know that Char-Em ISD's Career and Technical Education (CTE) offerings have grown over the years to now include 23 different programs operating in more than 50 classrooms across Charlevoix, Emmet, and northern Antrim counties? You can find an interactive version of the accompanying map on the CTE website: https://charemisdcareertech.org/interactive-map/
These classes, which take place in every local high school, are a large part of Char-Em's CTE programs and initiatives funded by the CTE millage, which has been approved by voters every four years since 1996 - that's 30 years of support! The next millage request will come before voters on May 5, 2026. Absentee ballots can be requested now. If you'd like to register to vote in person, do so online or by mail by April 20 (or in person up until Election Day).
High school vocational classes are just one part of the K-12 career tech spectrum in Char-Em ISD. Learn more about the many unique initiatives for elementary, middle, and high school students at www.charemisdcareertech.org.
