Beginning with the Class of 2029, students will be required to complete a two-credit pathway concentration of the student's choice in a language other than English, including American sign language; fine arts; health; military career preparation; a career technical education program; or community or service learning, a capstone course or work-based learning; provided that financial literacy, computer science, student service learning, career technical education courses and a sequence of languages other than English shall be offered as electives. While this is similar to the Career Cluster requirement, students must successfully complete 2 credits, which may be more than 2 courses.

What is a Concentration? 

• A concentration is simply a fancy description for a specific elective pathway that incorporates a student's long term goals for the future.
  
  The goal of the concentration pathway is to help students be better informed and more intentional with potential action plans for after high school (College, Career, Military, Trade, etc.)
