Pathways

Medford School District recognizes the importance of helping students connect academic learning to their individual interests and aspirations. By the end of their freshman year, students choose a Pathway that best fits their unique interests and emerging career goals.

Each student-selected Pathway includes:

  • A sequence of courses adding up to at least 3 credits

  • Advanced coursework demonstrated by earning professional certifications, industry credentials, and/or college credit

  • Completion of a resume

  • Completion of a postsecondary career plan

Additionally, students can earn a Pathway Honor Cord at graduation by: 

  • Participating in related clubs, activities, and student organizations 

  • Completing a work-based or service-learning activity

We want all options to be open and hopeful for our students! That’s why one of the most important things we can do as educators is connect our students to learning by making education relevant and interesting. It’s incredible to see how successful they are when they’re genuinely interested in their work.
