Academically, we offer standard pathways for all of our core classes, as well as an honors program. We have career and technical programs on campus in business, event planning, agri-science, turf management, and industrial arts (welding and construction). Our fine arts consist of choir, drama, concert band, and marching band. Journalism is also offered for students interested in working on our yearbook and other publications. Students also have opportunities to take virtual and dual-enrollment courses through our ACCESS laboratory. We are fortunate that our students have access to GTECH, the career and technical center for Geneva County.
