Mission Statement
The mission of the Construction
Careers Center
Charter High
School is to prepare students in grades nine
through twelve for the future by providing an excellent foundation in
academics, broad exposure to the construction industry, and relevant
vocational education preparation. The school’s
curriculum is specifically designed by the construction industry to prepare
students for entry into direct employment, a construction
apprenticeship-training program, a community college or a four-year degree
institution. The school will implement strategies to encourage each student
to develop the necessary skills, attitudes and work ethic to be successful
in their chosen area of concentration.
The 2005-2006 student year
began on August 22, 2005. Holidays that will be observed include
Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Winter Break, the Martin Luther
King holiday, Presidents' Day, Spring Break and Memorial Day.
The student school year will end on June 30, 2006. To view the
