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

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
