What is a Career Academy?
A Career academy is a smaller learning community that focuses on a career theme and is integrated into students’ studies including their core curriculum courses. Each year the same group (cohort) of academy students takes a Career and Technical Education course aligned with the career theme, as well as one or more core classes together. It is a school-within-a-school model.
Each academy student participates in several work-based learning activities such as job shadowing, career fairs, career themed industry tours and an internship. Academy students develop and refine employment soft skills and gain industry certifications or college credits upon completion of the academy program.
Middle Creek High School is offering TWO academy programs for the 2023-2024 School year!! Information sessions will be held virtually and in person during the month of February.
