Career Pathways

What is a Career Pathway?

Career pathways are small groups of occupations within a career cluster. Occupations within a pathway share common skills, knowledge, and interests. We have taken time to align the course offerings at Park High with each Pathway to help students find validity in their studies. Pathways also help students determine possible career options as they see many of the classes they enjoy in specific pathways.
Students are not required to choose or stick with a certain Pathway, these are just tools for aided career exploration.
