“When you connect a kid to a pathway, that's an increase in your grad rate" - Dr. Romules Durant, TPS CEO & Superintendent According to the Education Insights Report, 90% of middle schoolers today want more exposure to different career paths, while 88% wish they had more resources to better prepare them. Watch our latest Courageous Leaders video to hear Dr. Durant discuss the importance of aligning classrooms to student's interests to keep them engaged in their education.

Vocational offerings are critical. Not everyone is going to be a dr, nurse, lawyer, engineer, etc. And where do the people with college degrees go when the car breaks down? when the roof needs replaced, or the wiring or plumbing need fixed, or they want their yard lanscaped? The people with degrees turn to the people who have vocational certification in these fields. Vocational jobs make the country go. I’m soooo proud of all the career opportunities TPS students have! We have something for everyone!
