SCHOOL DISTRICT OF PALM BEACH COUNTY

MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT

Parents and Guardians,

As Superintendent of our "A" rated School District of Palm Beach
County, I am pleased to introduce you to our 330+ Choice and Career
programs. Our goal is to provide every student with a pathway to
success that aligns with their personal interests and future plans. This
guide provides a look at the options available to students from pre-
kindergarten through grade 12 for the 2026-2027 school year.

Our programs are designed to give students a competitive edge,
whether their goal is to go on to college, begin career or technical
education, enlist in the military, or start a job right after graduation.
We offer a wide range of options to fit your student's interests. These
include advanced Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM)
programs, accelerated coursework where students can earn college
credit, Dual Language, and the arts. By blending rigorous academics with specialized career training, we
offer pathways that can lead to more than 100 different industry certifications.

These diverse offerings are possible because of our community's strong support. Voter-approved funding
allows us to provide these unique learning environments, and our community partners regularly collaborate
with our schools to create valuable experiences for students.

These opportunities begin in elementary school, expand in middle school, and become highly specialized
in high school. Many programs offer students the chance to gain real-world experience through hands-on
projects and collaboration with local businesses. This practical experience is invaluable, helping students
build professional skills and a deeper understanding of their chosen field as they prepare for the future.

I invite you and your family to explore this guide to learn more about the opportunities available here
in Palm Beach County. The District is here to support you as you find the right fit for your student. For
assistance, please contact our Choice and Career team at choicequestions@palmbeachschools.org or
561-434-8755.

We look forward to helping your student succeed.

Thank you,

Michael J. Burke, Superintendent
School District of Palm Beach County
