Students attempting to earn a Gold Seal Vocational scholarship are encouraged to contact a counselor for additional information.
COLLEGE PREPARATORY/CAREER PREPARATORY: This course of study is designed to prepare students for a 4-year college or university through a combination of academic and career/technical courses. To enter a Florida university, the student must fulfill the requirements of courses identified by the Florida State University System. In addition, the student is expected to take the PERT, SAT, or ACT prior to graduation and score at or above the established statewide passing score in each test area. As a student nears graduation, he/she may opt to complete either the College Prep or Career Prep option instead of the combination.
INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE: This course of study is similar to the Advanced College Prep option, but also meets standards set forth by the International Bacalaureate Organization (IBO). For more information, please visit the IB section of KHS website.
