On Career Pathways
Dallastown Area School District is dedicated and committed to helping its
students plan for their future based on their interests, abilities, and career
choices. We believe that planning and preparing for their future is the
most challenging and exciting decision students will make. Career Pathways was created in order to give our students the help and direction they
need to choose a career as they leave high school and meet further career
choices throughout their lives.
With the help of guidance counselors, teachers, and administrators, we
are focused on helping students select foundation courses and electives
designed so each student will be able to communicate effectively, compute
accurately, think and reason skillfully, and learn to work cooperatively.
Following the vision of the Partnership for 21st Century Learning, the
Career Pathways program emphasizes life and career; learning and innovation; and information, media, and technology skills.
In the past, the Dallastown Area School District has benefited from the
help of parents, guardians, and community business professionals to make
our program goals a success. We look forward to your continuing support
as the Career Pathways program grows and expands.
Our faculty is dedicated to the further enhancement of Career Pathways
and to providing enthusiastically developed, well-articulated, and thoughtprovoking courses that will promote a respect for life-long learning. We
are proud of the Pathways program and look forward to providing the very
best educational opportunities for our students!

Why should I select a career pathway?
Selecting a career pathway enables you to plan course selections throughout your high school education, ensuring that upon graduation your
academic goals have been met and that you are fully prepared for postsecondary options.
How do I select a career pathway?
As early as elementary education, students participate in career awareness
activities through field trips, community involvement programs, and classroom visitations. At the intermediate and middle school levels, students
begin career research and exploration in areas of interest. Upon entry to
high school, students are assigned advisors and meet with counselors in
order to further define their career pathway.
How will my career pathway affect my core curriculum options?
Choosing a career pathway provides opportunities to choose elective
courses to complement your academic studies. All required courses for
graduation must be completed in addition to the elective opportunities for
your career pathway.
How will I decide which career pathway to choose?
Studies have been conducted and assessment tools have been developed to
assist in identifying career interests. Completion of a Holland Interest Inventory* will result in an interest profile that will enable you to categorize
those areas of interest into pathways.
*Dr. John L. Holland, Ph.D., has introduced the Self-Directed Search approach in choosing a career pathway.
Dr. Holland has identified six basic categories to classify personality types: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic,
Social, Enterprising, and Conventional. Through assessment, career and education can be matched to interests
and abilities, resulting in identification of a career pathway.
What is a
career pathway?
A pathway is the
direction you choose
to pursue for your future.
A career pathway is the
category of careers that
include similar characteristics, while your interests
and competencies would
determine your choice
of employment. The
electives chosen within
this pathway would
focus on a particular
area of interest.
Determining curriculum interests and a career pathway can be a challenging concept for students, particularly when career awareness is implemented as early as kindergarten. As you progress through the career pathway
curriculum, it is important that parent and teacher involvement continue
through the intermediate and secondary curriculums. This booklet has been
developed to be a guide for your career planning and course selections.
“The path you
choose allows
you to plan for
a career after
high school.”
Choosing your future is one of the most challenging and exciting decisions
you will make. You have the opportunity to choose your future—not leave
it to chance or luck. Planning for your future will give you a better chance
of reaching your goal. This Career Pathways Planner is designed to serve as a
guide to coordinate your academic program with your career interests.
Everyone enters the workforce at some point. To plan your career, you need
to plan your high school academic program. The courses you choose and
your accomplishments in high school can lead you to your chosen career
path. However, not having an academic plan and not making other preparations in high school can deter your career preparation.
Career implies more than just a job—it includes education, work, and
lifestyle. Achieving success and a satisfying career takes planning, studying,
training, and vision. Your choice of courses now allows you to smoothly
and successfully move on to your career plans later.
For a better future, begin now to:
• explore the possibilities.
• determine your pathway.
• choose courses that follow your career pathway.
• learn what the workforce needs and expects of its employees.
To help you with this planning, contact your guidance counselor and visit
the Guidance Office in your school. Talk to your parents or shadow someone in your community to help determine your pathway.
This career planner:
• helps you to focus your interests and abilities.
• identifies occupations that are part of a pathway.
• recommends foundation and additional courses that lead
to specific career pathways.
Use this booklet to assist in pinpointing your career pathway. You may
change your focus during your high school program, but having a goal will
help you to select the best foundation courses. The recommended courses
lead all students toward a solid academic background.
How to Use My Career Pathways Planner
Business & Information Systems Communications & Humanities
Engineering & Industry Human Services Science & Health
Over the next several years you will be exploring various careers. As you
select a career field, and then narrow it to a specific occupation, you will
need an academic program that provides a solid foundation. You may select
courses that are recommended foundation courses and additional courses
that lead to specific career goals.
How To Use This Career Planner
1. Read the information about each career and discover how
what you like to do relates to possible careers and occupations.
2. Consider each pathway and what it has to offer.
3. Discuss your plans with your parents/guardians, your
guidance counselor, and your teachers.
4. Select one of the five overall pathways to follow.
5. Next, determine which career concentration best suits your
career goal (the resources in the Guidance Office can help you).
6. Select the foundation courses that are listed for your career and
decide on a focus area for your additional courses.
7. Complete the worksheet on page 8 of this planner.
8. Identify your specific courses for next year. Using the online
Program of Academic Studies, complete your course selection sheet by
the due date.
The recommended foundation courses include English, Social Studies,
Math, Science, World Language, Physical Education, and Health. The
recommended additional courses should be chosen because they connect to
your career goal. When you begin a sequence of elective courses, it is recommended that you stay in one academic discipline to advance your skills.
Entry-level positions are jobs most likely to begin immediately after high
school. Skilled or technical occupations usually require advanced skills or
technical training in a two-year or certificate program. Professional level
occupations usually require four or more years of college/university education. Remember that most careers of the future will require some advanced
training. Be prepared to continue your education in a variety of ways.
Remember this Career Pathways Planner
is a guide—a map to a career pathway.

The Keys to Success
Planning Your Route
The world awaits as you ponder the
most difficult question you must
soon answer: What will I be
when I grow up? As this career
planning process commences in
8th grade, your academic strengths
and interests are identified allowing
you to choose courses and electives
through 12th grade best suited for
your career pathway. Sometimes a
fork in the road may cause a change
in your pathway. With guidance,
your route can be altered accordingly.
In preparation for your pathway,
a few important planning details
include:
The school day begins at 7:45 a.m.
and concludes at 2:50 p.m. There are
eight class periods with five minutes
passing time between classes; periods
one through four and six through
eight are 43 minutes in length.
The school operates on a closed
school day. Period five is 86 minutes long. Thirty minutes of this
period are used for lunch and are
spaced at various times throughout
this period.
A school week consists of 40 periods. A minimum of two and a
maximum of six periods should be
allowed for study halls. All other
periods are scheduled with majors
(minimum of five) and electives.
34
The goal of our educational program at Dallastown
Area High School is to motivate and develop the
potential that exists in every student. A shared
responsibility among students, parents, and instructional personnel will foster meaningful educational
opportunities and ensure productive and rewarding
experiences in our school.
All courses will require a practical
number of registrants before being
offered. Electives should be named
in order of preference with alternates
indicated.
Students interested in vocational
training may apply for admission to
York County School of Technology
(YCST). Information on course
offerings at YCST is available in the
Curriculum Guide.
Senior students who are interested
in vocational training or work experiences other than those offered by
YCST should contact the School-toWork Coordinator or your guidance
counselor.
Dual enrollment classes for juniors
and seniors are available through
Harrisburg Area Community College (HACC), Penn State-York, and
York College. A student will earn
high school credit in addition to
the college credit received; he or she
can substitute a college course for
a high school course requirement.
A student who is interested in this
program must indicate his/her
interest on the scheduling form and
submit a dual enrollment application to initiate the process.
A student who desires to take course
work for which he/she has not been
recommended by his/her current
What
will I
be when
I grow
up?
instructor must have a Course
Selection Waiver signed by a parent
in order for the requested course to
be placed on the student’s schedule.
A Course Selection Waiver is used
in lieu of a teacher recommendation—it cannot be used to override
a prerequisite that has not been met
for a course. A student who enrolls
in a course using a Course Selection
Waiver is not able to withdraw from
the course subsequent to the school
year beginning.
Landmarks
The curricular offerings at Dallastown Area High School are adequately
diversified. Available programs of study for grades 9, 10, 11, and 12 are
fully described online. Review this information carefully with
your parents/guardians and determine the best course of study for your
individual needs and future plans.
When choosing courses, the advice of your parents, teachers, and counselor
should be considered. The selections you submit will be considered final
and will generate your course schedule. Educators and course offerings are
dependent upon your schedule requests; therefore, changes will not be made
after the date indicated on the scheduling form.
Which
Way Do
I Go?
This planner contains both required and suggested programs for students
seeking special preparation in various fields of endeavor. If questions remain, consult your counselor for guidance.

studies
Athletics and College
Requirements
Athletes planning to participate in
athletics at a Division I or II college/university must register with
the NCAA Clearinghouse. The
online application must be completed in the fall of the athlete’s senior
year in high school. The Web site is
www.eligibilitycenter.org.
Underclassmen with an interest in
competing in Division I and II athletics should keep in mind that high
school course work in major subjects
must be taken at a level 2 or higher
to meet core academic requirements. A list of NCAA approved
core courses for Dallastown may be
obtained in the Guidance Office and
is available on the NCAA Clearinghouse Web site.
Major Subject
Offerings
Major subjects may be offered on
four levels, from I to IV. Subjects
with the higher numbered levels are
more difficult and require greater
preparation. Grades in higher level
courses receive a greater point value
36
in determining class rank. Students
should seek the recommendations of
their teachers to assist them in choosing the proper level of major subjects.
Semester subjects meet for 18 weeks.
When semester courses are chosen
in the English and Social Studies
fields, alternates must be listed.
Subjects indicated by Roman numerals must be taken in sequence,
but the next sequence may not be
scheduled when the final grade is
P or E.
Elective Program
The Elective Program is designed
to meet a definite need of a pupil
or to satisfy a special interest. All
electives meet two or three times a
week and are first available in the
grade listed and then in subsequent
grades. All electives are open to
both males and females.
What is Best for You?
Mapping your future is not going
to be the same for you as your
classmates; after all, each one of
you is as unique as your footprint.
As you step forward in this process, keep that in mind. Map your
future with pinpoints to ponder
and determine your route. As you
approach forks in the road, trust
your judgment and the guidance
of your parents and counselors—make adjustments along the
way. Consider detours or alternate career options appropriate
for your interests. Careful career
pathways planning is key to a successful future.
Good luck on your journey.
The 10 Fastest Growing Occupations
Occupations with Highest Expected Percentage of Growth 2004-2014
Occupational Projections and Training Data, Bulletin 2572, Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2004
Projected Employment in South Central Pennsylvania by Educational Attainment
Globalization and outsourcing have impacted goods-producing industries, while technology has forced workers out of goods-producing
industries and into the service sector. Projections indicate that
this trend will continue and that by 2014, eighty-five percent
of the workforce will be in a service-providing industry.
As of 2004, over half of South Central Pennsylvania’s
labor force had no postsecondary education. Meanwhile, baby boomers approach retirement and as the
loss of experienced skilled workers grows, the demand
for skilled workers will multiply. Pennsylvania has the
second oldest population and will experience the impact of retirement and skill losses more than other areas of
the nation. Predictions indicate that most of the growth in
skilled jobs will be created by technician-level occupations that
in the future will require a two-year degree or a vocational education.
Based on 2004-2014 Long-Term Occupational Projections, CWIA, PA Dept. of L & I

High School
Mission Statement
Dallastown Area High
School, in partnership with
students, alumni, family,
and community, empowers
students by fostering responsibility and integrity to
maximize individual potential. We strive for excellence
by encouraging students to
develop academic, life, and
career goals within a progressive, challenging, and diverse educational program,
enabling graduates to be productive members
of the global society.
Middle States Accreditation for Growth
Dallastown Area High School successfully completed its Middle States Accreditation for Growth evaluation, an endorsement that will remain valid through
2017. The district must now determine the direction of the high school’s growth
process, and as this vision progresses, specific objectives will be developed.
A concluding assessment by the five-member AFG Evaluation Team reflected a
few highlights of the three and one-half day evaluation. High on the list was the
enthusiasm of teachers, parents, and students to participate in the process and to
share their excitement to be involved. Comments noted included, “Throughout,
a passion for children was evident; children are certainly the prime focus of this
district... there are no weak links here, academically speaking.” “This school is
a jewel,” the evaluation continued. “The kids love their teachers and everyone,
from staff to parents to students, appreciates the cleanliness of the campus and
its facilities.” The evaluators further noted that “special education needs are being met, and paraprofessionals demonstrate a passion for working here.”
High school administration, district administrators, and the board of school directors hold the charge to determine the focus that this certification entails, and the
course to implementation to provide a strategic plan of action ensuring that the
ultimate vision creates a learning environment responsive to tomorrow’s student.
