    • Generally, students interested in a program connected with Campus EPSB or Careers The Next Generation will start planning their path in grade 10, 11, or 12 and will follow through with their plan in grade 11, 12, or a 4th year of high school

  • McNally supports our students through their journey into the world of work through our Work Experience program

    • In Work Experience, students who are already employedd can earn 1 credit for every 25 hours that they accumulate on the job
