Durham Public Schools offers a number of options for high school students who have particular areas of career interests. All of the comprehensive high schools (Hillside, Southern, Riverside, Jordan, Northern) offer Business Technologies and Public Services career pathways. These same schools offer additional pathways based on the facilities available at each site. Durham School of the Arts offers the Business Technologies Pathway. Lakeview School offers programs in business, culinary arts and early childhood.
Students may apply to attend a high school that features a Pathway if the school is outside the student’s assigned attendance zone. If there is space, students generally can enroll in these programs.
Students who choose a Career Pathway must have four courses within a particular area of chosen study. Honors credit is available for selected CTE courses, namely Computer Engineering 2, E-Commerce, and Medical Science.
