Architecture Career Technical  Education Pathway

Build Your Dream Career

The Architecture Pathway will give students an understanding of architecture and the many applications architecture has in our daily lives. The Architecture Pathway is a cross- curriculum collaboration between the disciplines of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics (STEAM), all of which play an integral role in the overall field of architecture. Class projects include “real world” design projects inspired by guest speakers, industry field trips, possible internships, work experience, and opportunities for employment. Students will have first-hand experiences in thinking, designing, building, and creating prototypes. Students will also have an opportunity to receive an “Honors Cord” upon graduation – after passing the two core pathway classes.

Career Pathways help students explore their talents and use their experiences in the classroom to select career paths that they’re passionate about.
