Curriculum

Career Education and Service

• Diversified Occupations Students will be required to be in the classroom the first few days of class to complete required paperwork. This class provides students with the opportunity to receive occupational instruction and realistic on-the-job experiences that cannot be offered in the classroom setting. Students are required to find their own employment with an employer who is willing to participate in such a program. Students are required to work at least 15 hours a week for the full semester, usually during the three afternoon classes and in many cases until 5:00 p.m. International students must have valid U.S. working papers. The students will also plan and attend a breakfast banquet for all of the employers at the end of the semester. The program is flexible to meet the needs of individual students. Second semester for grade 12.

A variety of programs are available related to the following fields: cosmetology, construction, technologies, culinary arts, consumer services, manufacturing technologies, health care, transportation technologies and visual communication. (Complete CTC catalogs are available from the Guidance Counselor.) Students admitted to a full-day CTC program may need to enroll in one course at LMH per semester. Career and Technology Center students will complete a project in CTC that will count for their senior presentation. Anyone interested in CTC should consult with the guidance counselor as early as the
  sophomore year to plan accordingly.
