PACIFIC CAREER AND TECHNOLOGY HIGH SCHOOL

Pacific Career and Technology High is a Title I public high school that is part of the Twin Rivers Unified school district, located in North Highlands, CA with about 142 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 9 teachers, Pacific Career and Technology High has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Pacific Career and Technology High (PCTH), located in North Highlands, California, is a specialized alternative high school within the Twin Rivers Unified School District. The school is designed to serve students who may benefit from a more focused, personalized educational environment than that offered by a traditional comprehensive high school. Its primary mission is to provide an inclusive space where students can catch up on credits, recover lost ground, and work toward meeting the graduation requirements necessary to earn their high school diplomas.

The curriculum at PCTH emphasizes a blend of academic rigor and career-readiness, aiming to equip students with the practical skills needed for post-secondary success. By offering a smaller campus setting, the school fosters closer relationships between students and staff, which helps create a supportive culture focused on student well-being and academic progress. Whether students are aiming to enter the workforce immediately after graduation or transition into further vocational or higher education, the school focuses on providing the flexibility and resources required to help them achieve their unique personal and professional goals.
