Explore is a middle school program that introduces students to career and technical education, creating a learning pathway from 6th to 12th grade. It emphasizes engagement, choice, and hands-on learning to inspire excitement about the future. Students rotate through different pathways in 6th grade and select their focus for 7th and 8th grades, participating in project-based learning, guest speakers, and field trips.

Students will explore government structures, law, and education as they pertain to local, state, and national communities. Students will experience mock trials, disaster planning, and emergency response scenarios and will develop leadership skills while they work to enact positive change.

Students will learn all aspects of business, leadership, and marketing. A student in this pathway could focus on personal finance, entrepreneurship, digital citizenship, marketing and advertising, communication and journalism, developing sales strategies, and business planning.
