Ninth Grade
Exploratory Program

Each ninth-grade student goes through a three phase Exploratory program, which allows students to participate in each of the shop offerings for three days. During the second phase students will explore three shops in depth for ten days. The third phase will be placement in the shop they have selected. You will learn what is necessary to master the skills in that technical career and what career opportunities are available.

When you have completed the Exploratory program in the spring of your ninth-grade year, you then choose the career you wish to pursue. Our goal is that you choose a career in which you feel you have the best potential and can gain the greatest satisfaction.
