The Path to College and Career Readiness:
The New Career Tech
Remember how you viewed career tech when you were in high school? Everyone thought career tech was for kids who were not going to college, right? Did you know that’s all changed?
Today, a career tech education in high school is in many cases the first step of a successful college career. Students in the South-Western City Schools Career Tech Education program graduate high school with up to 30 college credits already earned! But Career Tech also offers programs for students who want to go into a career right out of high school.
Either way, 99.9% of the students in the South-Western City Schools Career Tech Education program get their high school diploma—a very impressive number compared to national averages and other central Ohio school districts. And, students who choose to attend the South-Western Career Academy can still participate in sports and activities at their home high school.
