SECTA is a four-year comprehensive career technical high school accredited by the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges that offers Clark County students the opportunity to participate in career technical training programs. The course of study consists of career technical instruction as well as academic classes that meet college and district requirements, which leads students to a technical certificate and a high school diploma.

Established in 1966, the school offers multiple career technical programs, a variety of academic courses, and student activities that can satisfy the needs of those young persons seeking additional choices to the regular high school curriculum.

The success of SECTA was observed by the Clark County School District, who decided to plan and construct four more career technical academies in the various regions of the Las Vegas Valley. In 2007, SECTA became the new name of Southern Nevada Vocational Technical Center in order to promote a positive image about the career technical learning environment present at the school, and to become part of the five career technical academies in Las Vegas, the only one of which to sponsor interscholastic athletic programs.
