In Health Occupations, we have added Patient Care Technician Certification. In Construction Trades, we have added Pa Builders Certification and we are in the process of adding a pre-apprenticeship in the area of Industrial Maintenance Technician.

We are glad to announce three new pathways for students in the areas of: Homeland Security (Emergency Services), General Education and Entrepreneurship.

Looking forward to the new school year and preparing everyone for the world of work.
