Business Education

Education for life, not just a livelihood...

The business education curriculum prepares students for life after high school graduation. The curriculum offers foundation courses in Accounting, Business Law, Career Strategies, Keyboarding, Marketing, and Personal Finance. The student is encouraged to sample as many of these courses as his/her schedule allows.  Business education students will be well-prepared for college offerings given the study skills, projects and academic challenges embedded in the business education curriculum.

Personal Finance is a course every high school student should consider, regardless of their plans after high school. This course helps prepare students to make wise financial decisions as they progress through college, begin a career and ultimately manage their own finances, including retirement. 

Students wishing to better understand business careers and/or pursue entrepreneurship opportunities are encouraged to consider the Accounting, Business Law and Marketing courses. Accounting is often called the language of business. Accounting will help every student succeed in business, even if the student chooses another major. Business Law helps introduce the student to fundamental legal concepts that guide business. In every business or organization, knowledge of business law is a critical success factor. Marketing introduces the student to the major functions that are used by individuals employed in businesses around the world. About one-third of all employees use some element of marketing in their daily work.

Career Strategies help a student formally develop a career and education plan and then begin to refine those skills that will favorably impact on the student's success in college and/or later as the student enters the workforce.

Keyboarding is a course that enables a student to achieve usable and/or employable skill levels in keyboard entry. The class also helps the student develop or refine basic computer skills to improve success with reports, letters, memos, e-mail messages and with everyday school requirements.
