Parchment is intentionally expanding pathways for all students.

Current and developing opportunities include:

  • Career and Technical Education partnerships
  • Kalamazoo Area Career Center opportunities
  • Career Champions programming
  • Work-based learning
  • Internships and community partnerships
  • Career exploration
  • Postsecondary planning
  • Development of individualized pathways based on students' goals after graduation The Work-Based Learning program at the high school is continuing to grow, and 7th- and 8th-grade students will have opportunities to participate in some of the internship partnerships being developed.

The goal is not a single definition of "college and career readiness." The goal is for every student to graduate with a clear next step and the skills necessary to pursue it.
