Enroll & Get Ahead

College & Career Readiness provides engaging and challenging academic opportunities for students to be successful after high school. It is recommended that students enroll in at least three advanced courses (AP, IB or dual credit) and/or complete a CTE program of study during high school.

Advanced Placement (AP)

Prepares students to pursue college-level studies, with the opportunity to earn college credit, advanced placement or both, while still in high school.

Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID)

AVID works to close the achievement gap by preparing all students for college readiness and success in a global society.

Career & Technical Education (CTE)

Students receive real-world, industry-relevant, hands-on learning experiences, both in the classroom and in the community where industry professionals share their skills and expertise to bring real-world authentic learning opportunities.

Dual Credit

Students enroll in college level courses at their high school and have an opportunity to earn both high school and college credit.

International Baccalaureate (IB)

Aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.
