School Overview
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.
