Connections is a Mississippi Department of Education magazine that highlights career and technical education success stories.  Those student and educator accomplishments center around individualized learning plans, outstanding curriculum, superb teachers, and a powerful online learning platform that is orchestrated by the MDE Career and Technical Education department and produced by Mississippi State University’s Research and Curriculum Unit.  As a result, we're proud to say Mississippi CTE students consistently produce remarkable results that ultimately help build and sustain the state’s economy.
