This centrally located campus in the center of our community will allow students from all three high schools in Catoosa County to come together one day a week to learn professional soft skills that will prepare them to enter the workforce as soon as they graduate. 
 
The other four days of the week will be spent earning industry recognized technical certificates in a variety of high-demand career pathways from Information Technology to Logistics, Distribution, and Supply Chain Management.
