The Regional Comprehensive High School Application Design Committee has been working hard to design a framework for a rigorous academic program that integrates secondary education, career and technical education, industry certification and partnerships, and higher education, with the intention of providing students career-oriented clusters to contextualize and authenticate the learning experiences of all students.

Find more information about the framework for the integration of programs, including the currently drafted and proposed career-oriented clusters (for application submittal by December 29, 2017) on the Regional Comprehensive High School website.

**Please note that the drafted and proposed career-oriented clusters do not represent a finalized list, but represent a framework to begin program design and structure if and only if the project is approved to move forward in 2018).**
