High School
High School curriculum provides students an opportunity to prepare for life beyond high school regardless of the path a student chooses. Graduation requirements not only provide a solid foundation, but encourage students to explore coursework, skill building and intentional planning toward a credential or degree that supports a future career and living wage. Students have a wide-variety of electives, dual credit college courses, CTE courses, IDLA courses and KTEC courses to choose from as well as additional opportunities to explore their interests and passions through clubs, organizations and extracurricular activities.
