The LRHSD’s Career Pathway programs can meet those interests.
The district strives to prepare students for college and career by offering both strong academic courses and practical skill training. Over the years, we have focused on our “Two Graduations” (high school and college), and want to ensure that the initiative also provides opportunities for students who want to pursue a career in the trades and inspires them to graduate from trade school or a specialized certification program and pursue a fulfilling, successful career.
Bond funding, approved by voters in November 2021, will turn a $3.5 million investment into stronger Career Pathways programs. LRHSD will add more professional equipment and forge partnerships with local businesses in a quest to help students explore a broad range of interests and abilities.
LRHSD’s expanded Career Pathway programs are open to all LRHSD students, regardless of home high school, with an ASE Automotive program housed at Seneca, a Construction, Building & Carpentry program housed at Cherokee, and a Metalwork, Welding & Fabrication program housed at Lenape.
By expanding our career-focused instruction, we can help students pursue a number of high-demand, lucrative, and rewarding careers. We also see this as an opportunity to aid local, regional, and NJ employers who have expressed an interest in trained workers to join their teams and bolster the state’s economy.
