It offers three pathways to complete a certification by taking dual credit courses with the goal of completing 30+ hours of college credit and graduating with a high school diploma and a certification in Robotics, Business/Marketing or Emergency Medical Services.

Elissa Jones  was awarded Robotics certification. Megan Brown, Marissa Meierdierks, Veronica Parra, Brandon Stokes and Alexandra Vinyard  were awarded their EMT certifications.
