To support students' pursuit of their career goals, AACPS has developed a series of Career Completer programs that allow students to discover and develop their career readiness. We understand that on a path to a post-high school career, students will have the choice to go straight into the workforce or pursue further post-secondary education. This is why our programs develop students' career skills with college credit and/or industry certifications, as appropriate to the career field. Students will graduate from high school prepared to take a confident and informed next step on their career journey
The Completer Pathways offered at GBHS are listed below. Students may graduate with DUAL COMPLETER programs, in which they satisfy requirements for more than one pathway. Click on each link for more information.
