MADISON PARK HIGH SCHOOL’S MISSION STATEMENT

Madison Park Technical Vocational High School’s mission is to provide our diverse population with the opportunity to acquire an integrated vocational and academic education. Individualized instruction, applied learning and work site experience prepare all students to succeed in technologically advanced careers and post-secondary education.

A DAY IN THE LIFE

During a typical day, students in grades 10-11 alternate between weekly academic and vocational schedules with the exception of English and Math. Those classes meet every day, both weeks. Grade ten students attend academic classes during week two and vocational classes during week one. Grade eleven students attend academic classes during week one and vocational classes during week two. Seniors attend all academic classes during one week and vocational during the other to accommodate paid and unpaid internships and co-op opportunities. Grade 9 students receive instruction in an exploratory program to provide the preparation needed to choose one of the many career programs for grades offered.
