Career Pathways
-
Planning for high school is an exciting and important step in a student’s journey. In Olathe, our vision —“Their Future is Our Future” — guides an individualized approach that prioritizes student choice and readiness for both college and careers.
Students have the opportunity to explore a variety of pathways, including Career Pathway Programs, Two-Year Academies, and Four-Year Academies. These options focus on high-demand career fields and are designed to connect student interests with learning through hands-on experiences, industry-standard tools, and real-world partnerships. Each opportunity helps students build the academic and technical skills needed for success in their future careers.
Students may choose to attend their boundary high school or apply to a Four-Year Academy or Two-Year Academy. Program availability varies by campus. Students accepted into a Four-Year Academy located outside their boundary school will transfer to the school where that academy is housed. Students who enroll in a Two-Year Academy during their junior and/or senior year for a three-hour block each school day.
