Portsmouth High School’s Academy for Engineering Design provides students with the opportunity for hands on learning through the Project Lead the Way (PLTW) series of courses. The program includes three foundational courses: Introduction to Engineering Design, Principles of Engineering, and Engineering Design and Development. It also includes several optional/specialized courses that provide students with instruction in specific fields of engineering. Each foundational course provides students with the opportunity to earn up to 3 college credits through our partnership with Rochester Institute of Technology as well as other regional and nationally accredited universities throughout the country.
