The Innovation Pathways Program at Leicester High School is an exciting endeavor designed to alter the learning experience for students by directly connecting their education to real-world applications and future professions. By focusing on high-demand fields recognized by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the program presents students hands-on learning opportunities through internships and capstone projects. This approach not only enrichens their academic journey but also provides them with practical skills and insights into various professional sectors.

Integral to the program is a series of technical and advanced courses integrated within Leicester High School's curriculum, aimed at increasing students’ knowledge and preparing them for post-secondary success. Additionally, through partnerships with local industry partners, students gain early exposure to career choices, supporting them to make informed choices about their future paths. This mix of experiential learning and academic rigor ensures that every participant is well-equipped for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

The technical and advanced coursework students take within their Pathway is fully integrated into student's overall progress and credits earned for graduation.
