Check out the South-Western Career Academy's
Career Tech Program Drone Tour!
From digital electronics to early childhood education, fabrication, radiology to radiant energy, and everywhere in between, Career Technical Education helps students learn skills for the future. By the time the students graduate, they will have earned an education founded on rigor, career certifications, and on-the-job experience. The South-Western City Schools Career Technical Programs prepare students for two-year and even four-year colleges. These programs are available at the district's four home high schools and the South-Western Career Academy. Typically, two years in a single program are required to earn at least five credits, so students should choose carefully during their sophomore year for a two-year commitment to a program. Students coming out of each of these programs have the upper hand in landing a job because there is such a high demand in today's job sector for these skilled trades.

Special Chef for the Day

Brady, a Bolton Crossing Elementary 1st Grader, wrote a book about his aspirations of becoming a chef one day. The Culinary and Hospitality Arts Program at the South-Wester Career Academy brought Brady in to become their Guest Chef for the day. Chef Brady worked with Chef Wright and the program students on culinary skills cooking up items and enjoying their very own culinary creations! Chef Brady shared his own storybook and laughs with the crew at SWCA. It was an honor hosting such an ambitious young man. Thank you to Chef Brady for visiting, and we look forward to seeing you in the program!
