COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS

A focus at Russellville High School is helping our students discover their future career path. Students are introduced to the 16 National Career Clusters at RJHS.  Students then can take classes at RHS that match the 16 Career Clusters in the National Career Clusters Framework or one of the 20 Career/Technical Education (CTE) career pathways that are available at RHS. Students on a career pathway have the opportunity to achieve completer status, participate in a paid internship, and receive industry level certifications. 

Russellville High School also holds an advisory period every day called “FACE-Time” (Finance and Career Education Time). During this period, students are taught guided lessons that focus on college and career skills such as applying for grants and scholarships, and how to research colleges. Students also work on their career development portfolio where they develop their plan for their future.
