» Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses that meet Practical Arts Graduation Requirements
Dual
Enrollment is a program that allows you to take courses at one of
Orange County Public Schools Tech Centers while still enrolled in your
high school. Why wait until graduation, when you can start earning
college credit and prepare for your career today?
High
school students who are 16 years of age in grades 11 and 12 may attend
the tech centers either a full- or half-day and earn elective credits to
obtain a career. Students must take a minimum of three elective credits
to be dual enrolled at the tech center. Participating students, meeting
all established requirements, will graduate from their home high school
and be eligible to participate in extracurricular activities including
the graduation ceremony. There is no charge for tuition or books.
Students
attending a full day take both career courses and required academic
classes. Academic classes are offered online in a tech center computer
lab or on personal time via home computer. Students can attend the tech
center full-time while still belonging to their home high school and
they earn academic credits while beginning on their path to college and
career
