Future Teachers Program

Students will be entering a highly competitive global workforce. Nearly 90% of the fastest-growing jobs in the United States require education beyond high school. Almost all jobs in the foreseeable future will need some form of certification or post-secondary degree. To become career and college-ready, students need 21st-century technical skills, as well as English and mathematics knowledge.

Our goal is for every student to graduate globally competitive for work and postsecondary education and well prepared for life. Students should see their counselor and Career Development Coordinator to begin developing the skills they need to become career, college and citizenship ready.
