Signature Programs are a 21st century workforce-relevant theme around which curricula, job shadowing, mentoring, co-curricular clubs, college courses and internships are crafted. Real world connections made through Signature Programs prepare high school students for college and career.
Anne Arundel County Public Schools has partnered with the Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Institute at Anne Arundel Community College to create the Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice CTE program in support of the Signature at Glen Burnie High School.
This program combines Career and Technical Education and Early College access and will allow students to graduate with 18 college credits and a certificate in Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice.
Students will gain an understanding of ethical standards and techniques needed to meet current and future challenges facing our community through innovative thinking and real-world experiences in a variety of public service careers that help a community grow and thrive.
