Career Pathways

McMinnville High School’s Career Pathway program provides students a “road map” with information on what courses to take and when to take them as they pursue a career area. Students clearly see the relationship between the courses available at McMinnville High School and the certificates or associate degrees that lead to careers in a specific industry.

McMinnville High School offers endorsements in many career pathways. Students are required to earn 2.5 credits in any pathway experience. However, they can also earn a pathway endorsement if they earn 2.5 credits in the same pathway. Students can choose from the career pathways listed below.

If students are interested in a more extensive career pathway experience, they can also choose to attend the Engineering & Aerospace Sciences Academy (EASA). This pathway offers students not only opportunities to earn career pathway endorsements, but also provides core courses within the ‘pathway team’ rather than within the traditional classrooms. To promote the fidelity of the career pathway experience, students are not permitted to take similar core courses outside of the ‘pathway team.’
