Career Academy ProgramS The Career Academy Program is designed to allow students the opportunity to enroll in a career/technical program and to remain on the School of Technology campus all day for their academic instruction.  The academic classes are smaller and provide more one-on-one instruction and attention. The students remain involved with their home school, which allows the student to participate in extra-curricular activities and graduate with a regular high school diploma.  The student is required to meet the same standards as his/her high school. The student must pass the Alabama High School Graduation Exam (AHSGE), take all required subjects, and have a total of 24 credits (26 for Shelby County High School students) to graduate. The program provides students with in-depth after high school/life/career preparation with a "Diploma Plus" concept. This concept guides students toward the following, after completion of high school: Four Year College/University Two Year Community College Technical School Military Career Opportunities (Scholarship opportunities are available through career/technical classes as well as academic classes.) Requirements for enrollment: Students must be at current grade level Student can be a 10th, 11th, or 12th grader Student must be enrolled in one of the eight Shelby County high schools Student must complete necessary paperwork, be interviewed, and accepted into the program. Transportation: Bus transportation is provided for students planning to attend the School of Technology/CAPS Program.
