At the Michigan Career and Technical Institute, we believe:

• A student is the most important person in our school.
  

• Our purpose is to provide technical training that meets the needs, interests, and abilities of our students.
  

• Each student is an individual who has dignity and worth, and who should be treated with respect.
  

• No student will be discriminated against because of gender, educational experience, race, religion, or disability.
  

• It is our responsibility to provide the opportunities to develop skills that will enhance employment.
  

• Involving business and industry provides greater employment opportunities for our students.
  

• It is our job to promote employment through a wide range of physical, social, cultural, and support services designed to overcome barriers that may interfere with training and employment.
  

• It is our job to provide the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that prepare individuals for employment in a specific trade or vocation and to assist them to live independently.
