Career Academies
Career Academies allow students to explore a given career pathway while earning both high school and college credit, as well as industry-recognized credentials. Students attend college classes with a cohort of high school students in their chosen pathway for part of their school day and then spend the remainder of their day at their high school taking required classes. Many classes are hands-on and include partnerships with local industry partners.
