Topeka High’s School Song

(Composed by Music Instructor Humphrey W. Jones in 1904)

Hail to the Black and Gold

A song for the land where the sunflowers bloom;

Hail to our city so fair;

And three times three with a Sis! Boom! Rah!

For the high school whose colors we wear.

Chorus:

For we are the students of the T. H. S.

Sing we the tribute that our hearts confess.

Ever we glory in thy proud success,

Hail to the Black and Gold forever

Technological advances and global competition have transformed the nature of work. Tomorrow’s jobs will require

more knowledge, better skills, and highly flexible workers who continually update their knowledge and skills. The goal

is to provide students with relevant context and for learning through pathways to college and career readiness.

The Career Clusters framework

provides a link between school-based learning and the knowledge and skills

required for success in the workplace. Each career cluster represents a distinct grouping of occupations and

industries based on the knowledge and skills they require. The career cluster and related career pathways provide an

important organizing tool to develop personal programs of study.

Career cluster pathways

are designed to provide a smooth transition from high school to postsecondary education

(technical colleges, community colleges and universities), apprenticeship opportunities, the military, and/or the

workplace. Stakeholders from education, business and industry developed the courses that address the need for

high skill, high wage, and high demand careers in the 21

st

_Century.

APPROVED PATHWAY:

1) Includes a minimum of three secondary-level credits.

2) Includes a work-based element.

3) Consists of a sequence: Introductory-level, Technical-level, and Application-level courses.

4) Supporting documentation includes Articulation Agreement(s) and a Program of Study.

CONCENTRATOR REQUIREMENT:

Students successfully completing a minimum of three secondary level credits in a pathway (an introductory level

course, one or more technical level course(s), and an application level course), have completed the pathway and are

eligible for recognition. Students who have successfully completed a pathway are concentrators and may be able to

take industry assessments and earn certifications. Students who attend specific postsecondary institutions and have

successfully completed a pathway may be able to enroll in upper level courses at the postsecondary institutions

without taking the introductory courses.

Throughout high school, students are encouraged to explore areas of interest. Students may focus on a specific

career pathway or explore multiple pathways. Students may also take electives that enrich their high school

experience even if those electives are not within their chosen career cluster and/or pathway. For instance, if a

student is planning on being an engineer and loves music and art, he or she may choose to participate in band and

take a graphic design class.

LOCATION OF CLASSES:

Students may enroll in any of the courses offered at their home school. Students interested in enrolling in a pathway

course that is offered at a school other than their home school should contact their school counselor to review

options.
