The NPC Career Academy is a secondary area career and technology center that serves public schools in the Garland County area. The secondary center is available to junior and senior level high school students. Program offerings are two years in length. Instruction in the areas offered by the center prepare students for entry-level employment and provide the foundation for further education.
Eleventh and twelfth grade students are eligible to enroll in all training areas.
Students may enroll in the Academy’s programs by contacting their home school counselor
or principal. All new students must complete an enrollment application and the NPC
admissions application online before being considered for admission in any of the
training areas.
Priority enrollment is given to students as follows:
1. Returning, second-year students (in the same program of study)
2. First-year juniors
3. First-year seniors
Enrollment is limited in each of the training areas. Due to space restrictions and
safety concerns, students may be asked to choose an alternate training program or
alternate time. In the event there are more applicants for a section than available
seats, additional enrollment criteria will be followed. Each program area has other
specific criteria that are used to determine enrollment. These criteria are listed
in the program descriptions. The final determination of enrollment in any of the programs
will be at the discretion of the program instructor and the Academy director.
Students who do not successfully complete a semester in their program of study are
no longer eligible to attend the Career Academy. Successful completion is defined
as finishing the semester in the program with a passing grade. Students who receive
a grade of “F” are not eligible to return to the Career Academy in any program.
