Teachers, students, and administrators recently spent the day collaborating on plans for College and Career Academies.

We’d like to extend our sincere thanks to our business hosts for sharing their time, expertise, and industry knowledge with our educators:

• ASU MIX Center

College and Career Academies support the District’s Graduation Plus program that gives all MPS students the opportunity to not only graduate with a diploma, but also develop skills for future success. We are excited for the possibilities and want to engage even more business and industry partners to support and advise our academies.
