*It is strongly recommended that students complete this health science core course with a grade of C or higher to advance to the next course of choice.*

The Health Sciences (Core) course introduces students to the theory and practical applications of tasks related to employment in the field of health science. Students will cover topics such as safety in the workplace, infection control, health care systems, medical terminology, and the body systems structures and functions along with conditions that can occur in each body system. the course offers insight into careers in health care as well as educational requirements and the professional, legal, and ethical responsibilities involved. 

The Healthcare and Clinical Services course helps the student establish insight into the healthcare field. Students will be exposed to the theory and applied tasks related to careers within health care. This course covers topics such as human growth and development, health informatics, information technology, and therapeutic and rehabilitative services. Other topics include medical and emergency services, mental health, and pharmacological and nursing services.

The Welding curriculum is designed to prepare the students for entry-level employment in the field of welding and fabrication. Students in Welding I complete study in occupational orientation and safety, basic math, introduction to blueprints (welding symbols), hand and power tools, Oxy/Fuel operations, and Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW). Students in Welding II complete study in occupational orientation and safety, advanced Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), semi-automatic arc welding [Gas Metal Arc Welding and Flux Cored Arc Welding (GMAW/FCAW)], Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), Carbon Arc Cutting Principles and Practices (CAC-A), Plasma Arc Cutting (PAC), and employability skills. 

Cyber Foundations I (CF I) - is an instructional program that prepares individuals to effectively use technology in learning, communication, and life skills. The complete program comprises two courses, CF I and CF II. In CF I, students will gain experience in digital citizenship, technology applications, career exploration, and fundamental computing concepts. These foundational skills will prepare students for CF II and provide them with the basic tools for success in the future workforce.

Cyber Foundations II (CF II) - is an instructional program that prepares individuals to effectively use technology in learning, communication, and life skills. In CF II, students will build upon the skills they learned in CF I and expand them to applications, such as databases, graphic design, mobile application development, and microcontroller programming.

Exploring Computer Science (ESC) is meant to introduce students to the field of computer science through an exploration of accessible topics. The course is designed to focus on the conceptual ideas of computing and to help students understand why certain tools or languages might be utilized to solve particular problems. The goal of ECS is to develop in students the practices of algorithm development, problem-solving, and programming. Students will also be introduced to topics such as interface design, limits, of computers, and societal and ethical issues.
