Career Pathways
In order to align with our new State graduation requirements and to meet our goal of preparing students for their future, we begin helping students build their High School & Beyond Plan in middle school.
Students use tools as a way to learn more about their interests and learning styles which connect them to potential careers. This process helps them in determining their career pathway.
Career Cluster Pathways
Below are the 16 Career Cluster “Pathways” which link to more information, including example careers within the pathway.
