Logistics Academy

The Logistics Academy is a small learning community within South Garner High school. Designed as a four-year-high school program, the Academy has an open and equitable student recruitment process that results in a student body that reflects the demographics of the school community. However, students must be assigned to South Garner HS as their base school in order to apply. Once accepted into the program, students remain together throughout their high school years with a core group of specially trained teachers.  The Academy model provides an environment for these teachers to develop interdisciplinary activities that make learning relevant and capture the interest of students.  Through real-world, hands-on experiences, the Academy exposes students to a variety of careers.

Career Academies

Career academies are smaller learning communities that focus on a career theme and are integrated into students’ studies, including their core curriculum courses. Each year, the same group (cohort) of academy students takes a Career and Technical Education course aligned with the career theme and one or more core classes together. This school-within-a-school model may be either a three- or four-year academy.

Each academy student participates in work-based learning activities, such as job shadowing, career fairs, career-themed industry tours, and internships. Academy students are prepared to participate in these experiences through their cohort academy courses. Each academy student must do an internship related to the academy theme between the junior and senior years. The internship will be for 120 hours.
