Career and technical education programs are infused in middle and high school curriculum, where students can explore career options, earn industry certifications and even receive an AA degree when they graduate.
Every year, more than 100 graduates from OCPS high schools are accepted into top-20 colleges and universities around the country, as well as U.S. service academies. The district also boasts a 97.9% graduate rate among its 20 traditional high schools.
By 2020, every OCPS student had a laptop or digital device as a part of an aggressive and innovative digital learning program.
