Service
Do you like helping others, social justice, law enforcement, detective work, fire science, teaching others, or child development? The Service Academy is for you.
This Academy has three pathways:
Education
Rockford Public Schools has partnered with Rockford University to recruit teachers and build a workforce from its own student body. The Rockford University Education Pathway begins in middle school and continues in high school with an education pathway. Students then enroll in a college degree program through Rockford University. The hope is to continue the program through teacher certification and employment with RPS 205. Then graduates can continue as RPS 205 teachers in a graduate program through Rockford University.
Hospitality
General introduction to the hospitality industry with a focus on food service, kitchen techniques, customer service, and culinary arts.
Public Safety
Planning, managing and providing legal, public safety, protective services and homeland security, including professional and technical support services.
For more information on pathways and course descriptions check out the High School Planning Guide.
