Career Exploration Students entering Sterling High School,
beginning with the Class of 2016, are assigned Career Exploration
Courses during freshman year. Exploratory Courses will help
students discover their interests and opportunities, empowering
them to choose the educational pathway that can lead to success in
high school, college and their chosen career. These four (4)
exploratory mini-courses correspond with four Fields of Study
available.

Exploratory Courses There are four (4) Exploratory Courses:
Exploratory Courses introduce students to academic and career
Program Majors in each Field of Study, and emphasize: Occupational
Outlook Projections College and Career Readiness Skills Integrated
Instruction Portfolio and Project- Based Assessments Personalized
Student Learning Plans Naviance Career Inventory Assessment
Business and Industry Communications Technology Health and Human
Services STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math)
Slide 9
Fields of Study Fields of Study are comprehensive academic
areas from which students will select a Program Major. These
designations also assist teachers to integrate cross-curricular
instructional practices. Business and Industry Communications
Technology Health and Human Services STEM

Program Majors provide a roadmap for students to navigate
educational options and prepare them to successfully transition
into postsecondary education, careers, and lifelong learning.
Students utilize Naviance to build upon a Personalized Student
Learning Plan developed in the exploratory courses. Students select
a Program Major within a Field of Study and register for the
introductory level course. All program majors are recognized within
the Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) published by the
National Center for Educational Statistics. All offer corresponding
Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs. Program Majors

Early Childhood Education We at Sterling High School value
Early Childhood Education. Our Early Childhood Education program is
designed to give our students a solid background in a field that is
in great demand. It is our hope and an integral part of the design
of the program that our students graduate with a minimum of 9
college credits and a CDA certificate.

Multi Media Graphic Design The Multi Media Graphic Design
program at Sterling High School will afford our students the
opportunity to become well versed in the requisite skills to enter
this growing field. According to the American Institute of Graphic
Arts, entry-level designers had an average earning potential of
$35,000 in 2007. The average earning potential was $45,000 for
staff-level graphic designers, $62,000 for senior designers and
$98,600 for design directors.
Slide 22
Students in the MMGD program will become will versed in the
foundations of studio art and contemporary digital applications
like Photoshop and Illustrator. They will engage in real life
simulations that require them to negotiate with clients, spec out
jobs and complete products to the satisfaction of the client. Below
is a sample of a digital mural produced by the MMGD students for
the Stratford Fire Hall.
