Duplin County Schools Career Academies

Career academies are organized as small learning communities. Traditionally, students stay with a core group of teachers during the four years they are in high school. Career academies combine academic and career and technical education curricula into a career theme. Academy students also have the opportunity to experience job shadowing, mentoring, and other career development and work-based learning activities. They may also receive college credit.

Duplin Career Academies offer the following components:

Several classes or disciplines offered solely to academy students
A team of teachers who have joined the program by choice
Voluntary enrollment by students who wish to focus on their chosen academy course of study
Opportunities for academy students to engage in elective courses and other school activities
An opportunity for academy students to complete graduation requirements in four years and take courses for college credit while in high school
