Selecting an Academy or Pathway
-
During their freshman year, students will select an academy or a pathway at their school. Students in both academies and pathways take their core classes (English, math, social studies and science) along with advanced academics, career-focused classes and electives. Student choices are what determine the differences in high school experience. The academy and pathway names are meant to group together similar career fields.
Customize a Pathway
-
The Customize Your Pathway process exists for students expressing an interest in creating a pathway experience different from your school’s offered programming opportunities. Based on student and staff input, the process and supporting documents have been updated to best support the student experience.
