Helen A. Beach was the wife of Orville Beach, a late 19th century industrialist. The couple made Oshkosh their home for 25 years. When Mrs. Beach passed away in 1907, she left the couple's estate to the city for the purpose of building the Orville Beach Memorial Manual Training School in Oshkosh (on Algoma Boulevard) and supporting Career and Technical Education programs. |

Understanding CTE
Career and technical education, or CTE, prepares a highly skilled, sustainable workforce with the technical expertise, work ethic, and employability skills American businesses and industries need to remain globally competitive.
