Have you heard about Weber
Tech…?
Dude, they have a
Dodge Viper in the auto shop…
That is so cool... …do they only
have an Automotive Academy?
Look.. There’s Mrs.Huffman
and Mrs.Pettitt at
Weber…!
Automotive Academy
Health Academy
Technology Academy
Gaming/Green Tech Academy
When I obtain mastery in basic and intermediate automotive skills at Weber and get certification in ASE and NATEF. I can get an internship to work with Ford or Honda and many others…
I get to learn First Aid, anatomy, health and safety topics, assess vital signs, intern in a medical office and be a CNA, or Certified Nurse Assistant.
Virtual Enterprise is a simulated business run by students…!
You get to design games and all the graphic artwork for it…… but what is the Green Academy about…?
Hugging trees…?
Wow!
…what will I find at Weber Tech? …a Career High School with a small
learning community dedicated to academic and career preparation with an
emphasis on good citizenship. www.weberinstitute.org/
QUIET…!You can’t go to a Career
Academy High School because you GOOF OFF all the time… …GET back to memorizing your
math facts…!
Mr. Quigley, That’s boring…! I want more hands on
projects with relevance and I heard Weber is starting a new Gaming Academy…
…that’s Jonathan and Martha…
…2009 Weber graduates on their way
to the Skills USA Competition.. Don’t they
look professional…?
Dude……are those
the teachers or the
students?
Mr. Quigley… I’ve been thinking a lot about high school...
…I want to graduate but I am scared…
…I don’t know how well I’ll do there… …sometimes I just want to give up and quit…
but when I heard about Weber and other schools and all the cool projects they get to do…
…I feel like there they will care about me… and I’ll learn things I am interested in and math will make
sense…
Class… You can do it… I never thought I’d say this…
you CAN get all the way through high school and
beyond…
Mr. Quigley……You have always been an awesome
teacher even if you do shout a lot…
…Visualize a MENTAL PICTURE of you with your goal accomplished…
…be PERSISTENT on your journey to your goal.
Never give up! NEVER even think of giving up…!
…When you hit a block wall take a little break…
Yes……I can do
it...!
…everything from Law Enforcement… to
Vocational Nursing… to Baking and Pastry. They also have Agriculture, Communications, Fire
Science, Humanities, Office Management, Culinary Arts… they have a cool
Senior Project on-line too…
Yeah… At Middle College High School
middlecollege.lodiusd.net you can earn your high school diploma and an
Associates Degree at the same time..
…They’ve got 15 A.A. Degrees and 21 A.S.
Degrees...
Sure, but what if am not into that pathway…?
I want to go to high school and college
at the same…
…I want to earn dual credits so that
once I graduate I can get started in a
job right away…
YOU THREE HAVE BEEN DOING A LOT OF TALKING…! …but the more I think about it you
do really well in hands-on projects and you always like to participate in class
assignments… a school with lots of hands on projects would be great for you… here are some I have heard of that you could go to
when you finish 8th grade…
…The new John C. Kimball High in Tracy has a Career Pathways Program in Architecture, Construction &
Interior Design, Health Sciences, Mass Communication…
www.tracy.k12.ca.us/kimballhighschool.htmThey are doing www.edutopia.org which is a program
that says you can develop technical skills while learning… sometimes you even get to go work with
famous companies…
…it was started by the Star Wars guy George Lucas.
Dude… Humphreys College www. humphreys.edu./
has a charter high school called Institute of Business and you can get
a two year Associates degree…
…then if you want… get your four year Bachelors… and later a master degree all at the same college… you
can even get your law degree…
…they have majors in Accounting, Business, Court Reporting, Early Childhood Education, and Liberal
Studies…
Dude…you even get to enter your
projects into competitions and earn awards…
Yeah, but what skills do I need
now to get into a career high
school like that?
…it means you can choose to learn about a
career and still be ready for college if you
want…
…and what is a pathway
anyways…?
…you need to know how to get a long with others in teams…
how to cooperate
I loved what I saw at Weber Tech and want to get a head start to
pick a career……I don’t want to wait until high
school… I want to start my portfolio now… I have so many ideas… I’m going online as soon
as I get home…
… I want to go to bizKID$ and start a virtual business like the Weber students do in Virtual
Enterprise…http://www.bizkids.org/

School Pathways nearby?
