College Credit and Industry Certification

Many of our courses align with college credit through College Board's Advanced Placement and through Pierce County Careers Connection (PC3).  The partnership with PC3 allows students to earn college credit, free of charge to students and their families, known as Dual CTE Credit (formerly known as Tech Prep). For more information on college credit, visit pc3dualcredit.org.

 
CTE as a Graduation Pathway

The State of Washington now allows career and technical programs to meet a graduation pathway for students.  If students complete two credits in the same career pathway, students can meet their graduation pathway.  See your counselor for more information.
