The Construction & Design Pathway Program is designed to prepare students for careers in architecture and the building trades, including construction, engineering, HVAC, carpentry, and plumbing. These are the professionals who build and remodel homes, schools, offices, recreational facilities, and large-scale projects such as highways, bridges, tunnels, and airports, as well as power plants and refineries. Through high-quality classroom, laboratory, and field instruction, students gain essential skills, earn industry-recognized certifications, and have the opportunity to transition to postsecondary education for further advancement. Hands-on, work-based learning experiences help prepare them for careers such as architect, civil draftsman, civil engineering technician, general contractor, project manager, HVAC mechanic, electrician, building inspector, carpenter, construction engineer, and mechanical draftsman.

To be considered a CTE Completer in the pathway, students must complete 3.0 credits within the course sequence and earn an industry recognized, comprehensive certification or pass a third-party, end-of-pathway assessment. At least 2.0 of the required 3.0 required credits must be a combination of technical and application level courses.

Career Pathway Programs are available at all five High Schools. No transfer is required.
