Clovis Schools Expand Educational Opportunities

Just when you think Clovis, CA schools couldn’t get any better, Clovis Unified School District has secured $12.8 million in Career Technical Education grants to improve already leading education programs. The new grant funding will be used to build Career Technology programs on all of its high school campuses.

The Career Tech programs are designed for a variety of educational purposes, such as preparing students for college to high-tech training for students who are aiming for mainstream careers. Now each of the 5 public Clovis high schools will have a specific Career Tech training program.

Focus on Clovis Jobs

According to the Fresno Bee, Clovis Unified chose its programs after looking at job market projections and discussing the programs with local businesses. Programs were then matched to existing strengths at each of the school campuses. For example, Clovis North received the health services program because State Center Community College District will start a nursing program next year at its college campus which is located just across the street. Clovis North students will focus on subjects such as nursing, pharmacology, and veterinary medicine and will work on state-of-the art medical equipment.

Clovis High School’s Career Tech programs:

Clovis North: Medical careers academy
Clovis West: Automotive technology
Clovis East: Agricultural mechanics
Clovis High: Building and trades program
Buchanan: Alternative energy program

The grants will also pay for expanded programs at the Center for Advanced Research and Technology (CART) in biomedicine, biomedical engineering, and game design and video technology. In addition, Clovis already has plans to apply for more funding next year and propose $4 million to build a bank at Clovis West for students to learn about the finance industry.
