In our public service pathway, we empower students to become future leaders in public service fields. Our comprehensive curriculum offers a diverse range of courses designed to cultivate essential skills and knowledge. Through our JROTC classes, students engage in drill and rifle marksmanship, instilling discipline, teamwork, and leadership qualities. In our emergency management course, students learn to respond effectively to crises and emergencies, acquiring valuable skills to protect and assist their communities. Our leadership and forensic science classes develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and investigative skills.

Additionally, we partner with YV-Tech and West Valley Fire to offer fire science, EMT, and law enforcement courses providing practical training for careers in emergency services and law enforcement. With experienced instructors and hands-on experiences, our program prepares students for meaningful and impactful careers in public service.
