We are proud to partner with Mechanicsburg to bring career programming—called satellite programs—directly to students. These advanced programs allow students to gain valuable career education without traveling to our Bellefontaine campus.

Foundational courses in specific pathways start as early as freshman year, enabling students to earn certifications, credentials, and college credits while still in high school.

The following career programs are offered at Mechanicsburg Middle and High School.

Students learn study, organizational, and time management skills and become active community members. Students assess their interests and abilities while exploring careers that match their strengths. While creating a plan for obtaining their career goals, students learn how to seek, find, and keep a job as well as develop a budget and manage personal finances. In addition, employability and problem solving skills are a focus in this program. With the opportunities to participate in study trips, Knowledge Bowl, and mock interviews, students have a jumpstart on their futures.
