Schools across the U.S. categorize courses based on 16 Career Clusters. Each cluster is then divided into pathways. Pathways align with a sequence of courses that provide technical and application skills for students. Kansas has combined the pathways to create 7 content areas, sharing similar skills. Lyons High School currently has 16 pathways, covering all 7 content areas and 2 additional programs. Each pathway is approved by KSDE and monitored annually in order to continue to meet the demands of the changing workforce and post-secondary expectations.
