RHS strives to prepare students for college, career and whatever might come after graduation.

Your CTE Pathway Classes Can Earn You College Credit!!
Many colleges offer articulation credit to students who complete a state-approved CTE program in high school. (Which almost all Romeo students do, and many students complete multiple pathways!) This means you may be able to earn college credit or skip introductory courses in the field you’re pursuing, saving both time and money!
However, colleges don’t always award these credits automatically. You must ask! When meeting with your college counselor or advisor, be sure to tell them about the CTE pathway program(s) you completed here at Romeo and ask if it qualifies for articulation credit. Advocate for yourself! Your Romeo CTE experience could already be paying off!
