Overview Paragraph

Our school strongly believes that student choice leads to student success. As such, students have an opportunity to choose from four pathways that lead to graduation: Engineering, Law Enforcement, Automotive Applied Science, or Business Entrepreneurship. Our motto, ‘Experience teaches – so that we may fly by our own wings,’ speaks to our dedication to empowering students in creating and following the academic and social paths that will lead them to success.

Prgram Description
