Welcome to the world of business. Business is an important aspect of, not only a students learning,but to everyone's general knowledge. The more knowledge you have of business the more successful you'll become in life. We try hard to give our students the best education possible. We help the students by equipping them with top of the line and up to date technology. To earn a Technology/Career-Preparatory Seal, students must complete three units within one Technical Education area of concentration plus one related unit. Business offers a concentration option of units that qualify for the Technology / Career - Preparatory Seal. Careful course planning is required to achieve the concentration. We hope you find all the information you need here, but we always encourage you to to call the school if you have anymore questions.
