The pillars of the Career Pathway Academy are as follows:
· Community Integrated Project Based Learning
· Industry Recognized Certifications

Project based learning integrates core academics with skilled trades, emerging technologies, and life skills.

Our innovative technology and trades programs offer hands-on training in various fields, including computer assisted design, automotive technology, welding, electrical trades, horticulture, forestry, building construction and cabinetry. This funding will assist in taking those programs to a new level.
