With so many options, every student has the chance to find a path that fits their goals and passions.

Proof of Learning (POL)
All students enrolled in a CTE course must complete a Proof of Learning (POL) assessment. This project or exam counts as 20% of the student’s final grade and helps show what they’ve learned in the course.

WorkKeys Assessment
Seniors who complete a full four-course CTE career cluster, including at least one advanced-level course, will take the WorkKeys assessment. Developed by ACT, WorkKeys measures essential job skills. Eligible students can earn a National Career Readiness Certificate—a valuable credential recognized by employers across the country.
