What Are High School Pathways?
High school pathways are structured programs of study that help students explore their interests and prepare for future careers or college opportunities. Each pathway connects classroom learning with real-world skills, giving students a chance to focus on specific areas-such as health sciences, engineering, business, arts, or technology-while still completing their core academic requirements.
By choosing a pathway, students can:
Explore potential careers and discover what they're passionate about.
Gain hands-on experience through projects, internships, or specialized courses.
Earn valuable credentials or college credits before graduation.
Build a strong foundation for success after high school, whether in college, technical training, or the workforce.
Pathways don't "lock" students into one career-they're designed to help students learn, explore, and make informed choices about their futures.
