Enrollment Information
Courses at National Park College Career Academy are designed as career training courses. These are not “shop” courses, but serious, beginning technical training in areas continued in the adult programs. Each high school course earns a minimum of one unit per semester and meets daily. Students may ride the bus from Lakeside each day or they may transport themselves. High school students are eligible to take two years of the same course beginning in grade 11.
Eleventh and twelfth grade students are eligible to enroll in all training areas. All students, including returning students, must complete an enrollment application before being considered for admission in any of the training areas.
Priority in enrollment is given to students as follows:
1. returning, second year students;

3. first year seniors;
Enrollment is limited in each of the training areas. Due to space restrictions and safety concerns, students may be asked to choose an alternate training program or alternate time. These guidelines are listed with the program descriptions. The final determination of enrollment in any of the programs will be at the discretion of the program instructor and the center director.
