Shenendehowa launches dynamic program‑of‑studies website with career roadmaps and videos

Shenendehowa Central School District presented a redesigned, interactive program of studies website that centralizes course information, career roadmaps, department videos and college credit details for students and families.

District curriculum staff said the new site replaces a static PDF and highlights new courses for the 2025–26 school year, offers career roadmaps in 10 popular clusters (including health sciences and computer science), and includes about 15 department videos produced by teachers. The presenters said the site will be updated frequently and will list new courses that passed through the district’s IPAC process.

Mr. Davis (role/title not provided in the transcript) told the board the career roadmaps are intended to show students how course choices, extracurricular activities and career‑preparation opportunities connect to postsecondary options. He said the roadmaps are not checklists; students may benefit from taking even a single course in a cluster. The presenters also highlighted that the district now lists more than 50 college‑credit‑bearing courses available at the high school and that scholarship links for partner colleges are accessible from the site.

The presentation noted four local CTE pathways that students can complete without leaving the district: child and family studies, business management, transportation systems and building sciences. Presenters said teachers were paid over the summer to create course videos showing student work, course highlights and why a student might choose a class.

Speakers told the board the site will be expanded in coming years to add more career roadmaps and videos; staff and counselors will continue to use the tool when advising students during course selection and scheduling.
