Moss Point Career-Technical Center is a secondary career-technical center serving the students enrolled at Moss Point High School. The Career-Technical Center works cooperatively with Moss Point High to prepare students for either future employment and/or post secondary education. Courses offered at the Vocational Center include Allied Health, Business and Computer Technology, Carpentry, Cooperative Education, Drafting, Early Childhood Education and Services, Marine Mechanics, Metal Trades, and Plastics and Polymer Science Technology. Career-Technical Support Services provides instruction in academic skills for students enrolled at the Center, who need those services.
All of these occupational programs are two year programs, are two periods long, and carry two units per year except Cooperative Education. Cooperative education is one period and carries two and one-half units per year. Each course has two first year classes and one second year class; second year students are chosen from those in the first year classes.
The Center provides our students with challenging curriculums and opportunities to develop leadership skills as they learn job specific skills and practice them in shop applications. Many of the programs involve the students in job shadowing in actual work situations. Students also apply academic skills in actual work situations. The integration of academic skills into job specific instructions helps students make wise career choices and develop skills necessary in all work situations.
Many of our students continue their education in post-secondary settings. Through an articulation agreement, students, who successfully complete two years in a career-technical class with an A or B grade point average, are eligible for a full or half tuition scholarship to Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College for any of their technical training.
We welcome community involvement and work with representatives from business in Craft Committees, which help our teachers provide instruction for a smooth transition from school to the world of work and/or post-secondary education. We also welcome parents and other community members to visit our classes. To ensure the safety of our students, we ask all visitors to sign-in through the Career-Technical Office.
