Career Academy is a partnership program with Southeast Community College and high schools in the same area. The Southeast Nebraska Career Academy Partnership (SENCAP) program provides students with more opportunities to learn about careers and to earn college credit while still in high school.
Opportunities provided by SENCAP include: reimbursed college tuition; career training; networking with students from other schools; job shadowing opportunities; exciting field trips; many "hands on" experiences and much more.
The classes are college level course work and are for college credit. Students complete a portfolio which also allows them to receive high school credit, hence this is a DUAL credit option since credit is offered for both college and high school credit.
SENCAP pays half the tuition and students pay the other half. WHS will reimburse students their half of the tuition if they pass both the high school and college portions the course with a "C" or better.
Students are also responsible for the cost of their books, which are not reimbursed under any circumstances.
The Career Academy Program for 2011-2012 is open for all juniors and seniors who meet WHS Distance Learning and the Career Academy's SCC academic requirements.
