CTE Connection September 2026

In the ITMS Careers courses, students have been hands-on in the horticulture pathway, learning to prepare soil, plant seeds, and monitor plant growth in a greenhouse environment. In addition our Careers and 8th grade Family and Consumer Science students will soon be using our newly-equipped cooking studio!

The program has been placed in our SSO Portal, and all teachers and students are automatically rostered, meaning no usernames or passwords are required. Take the time to explore this tool today!

How To Log In To Major Clarity:

1. Go to the SSO Portal

2. Click on the MajorClarity Icon

3. Navigate through the sidebar menu. Feel free to explore...you can't mess up!

First step in the Major Clarity journey is to complete the Personality Assessment: 48 questions and about 5 minutes to complete. You can find this assessment as well as one on Learning Styles by clicking on the Assessments option in the sidebar menu, and then answering the questions. The results of this assessment will then feed into the career pathways recommended in Career Exploration, providing careers ranked by your interests.

Students will work in Major Clarity within the Careers classes, but not all students will have such a class this year. So, make sure your student completes the assessment.
