Programs of Study

Programs of Study are curriculum and course ideas from which students choose in order to

build the necessary academic and vocational skills and knowledge to be successful in a global

workplace and postsecondary education. Students will develop a Personalized Education Plan

“PEP” in relation to academic and career planning. Each student’s course selections are based on

individual career aspirations and postsecondary plans.

Programs of Study have been developed into fifteen broad clusters for Mineral County

students:

Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources

Architecture and Construction

Arts, A/V Technology and Communications

Business Management and Administration

Education and Training

Government and Public Administration

Health Science

Hospitality and Tourism

Human Services Information Technology

Information Technology

Law, Public Safety, Corrections, and Security

Manufacturing

Marketing

Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics

Transportation, Distribution and Logistics

Each Pathway and concentration is described in the pages which follow. They provide an

illustration of when courses might be taken over the four years of high school. These are only

recommendations for the purpose of illustration and consideration. Each student should address

his individual scheduling needs while completing his program of study. Please check with your

chosen postsecondary institution(s) for any additional requirements.

Each program of study contains as much flexibility as possible. Students may change to a

different pathway and concentration at the end of any semester in high school. Changes of a

student’s pathway and/or concentration, will require an updated PEP with appropriate signatures

to include parent/guardian. Free electives allow students to pursue other interests and build upon

foundational knowledge to prepare them to be college or career ready.

Questions about the Programs of Study may be addressed to your school principal or

Career Development Planning

Grades K-5 Career Awareness

Children develop an awareness about jobs through discussion, field trips, classroom resource

speakers and career presentations. They formulate an answer to the question, “What is work?” A

career portfolio for each child is created upon Kindergarten enrollment. This portfolio is passed

from grade to grade as the child progresses.

Grades 6-8 Career Exploration

Career cluster exploration is continued through class work, advisory programs, developmental

guidance, computer simulations, career and college day, resource speakers, field trips, career

interest and aptitude assessments, job shadowing experiences, and additional development of the

career portfolio.

Students work closely with parents and school personnel to merge an understanding of themselves,

grades and assessment data, and career information. Eighth graders make an initial selection of a

career cluster of interest. Information is added to the career portfolio.

Grades 9-10 Career Exploration and Decision Making

Ninth graders continue to explore their initial career cluster selection, career information, and the

importance of Programs of Study for their career direction and high school course selection. The

selected career major is confirmed or revised. Tenth graders enroll in an Introduction to the

Majors class. This class provides an in depth investigation of career clusters and occupational

fields, job characteristics, the employment market, academic and job skill needs, resume and job

search skills, and financial planning. The career portfolio is further developed. A work-based

experience is undertaken or plans are filed. The selected Career Cluster is confirmed or revised.

Selection of a concentration within the Career Cluster leads to completion of the Personalized

Education Plan (PEP). The Career Portfolio is maintained.

Grades 11-12 Decision Making and Career Preparation

The student develops academic and career competencies required for the career selection.

Graduation requirements and courses outlined in the Program of Study are completed. Workplace

learning through job experience is recorded. Planning occurs to enable successful transition from

high school to post-secondary education or employment. The Career Portfolio is passed to the

graduating student.
