CAREER-ALIGNED MASTERY PROGRAMS of STUDY

Career-Aligned Mastery (CAM) Programs of Study are designed to ensure that students graduating from high school are competent in critical academic areas and career/life knowledge. These skills provide a platform for further schooling, employment, and productive living. Students who successfully complete these programs of study meet state Career Related Learning Standards and are able to apply and transfer knowledge to new situations, solve problems, communicate, work in teams, and plan their future. Students in these programs are encouraged to pass state benchmark assessments in Reading, Writing, and Math, and participate in a variety of career cluster related activities in and outside of school and create a comprehensive portfolio.

There are three Career Cluster areas at South:

Arts and Communications – Visual Arts, Journalism, Music Performance, Theater Arts
Business and Management – Marketing, Culinary Arts and Information Technology
Human Resources – Early Childhood Education

CAM teachers and the School-to-Careers coordinator work with students to guide them through this personalized learning experience. Many students in CAM use their portfolio as documentation and demonstration of skills and achievements for college admission, scholarships, and employment.
