TO: ALL STUDENTS FROM: TEACHERS, COUNSELORS, AND
ADMINISTRATORS Choosing your
career is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. This Program of Studies has been designed
to acquaint you with your options and to guide you in selecting courses that
will provide you with the foundation for a rewarding career. It is our belief that the curriculum should
not determine your career possibilities; career choices should determine your
personal curriculum. We have provided a
group of career clusters or paths that should guide you in deciding which
courses to take. If you plan to attend
a four-year college, you may select college prep, honors, and advanced
placement courses. If you are planning
to attend a two-year college or to go straight from high school to the
workplace, you may choose to take tech prep courses. Based on your personal career goals, you
may need to select courses from both college prep and tech prep clusters. The tech prep
courses (applied academic courses) in mathematics, science, and
communications are similar in content to traditional college prep courses but
use real-life examples and emphasize contextual learning. The course content is designed to be
rigorous and challenging. We also
encourage you to seek dual credit courses at local two-and four-year colleges
while enrolled in high school. Please review
carefully the courses offered at the Be sure to ask for help and guidance in choosing your courses. Working as a team, we can design an effective career pathway that will give you the foundation you need to meet the academic and technological challenges of the twenty-first century. |
