Recognizing the importance of vocations that are vital to everyday life, the Grenada High School encourages students with interests and aptitudes in vocational areas to pursue courses at the Career & Technical Center. The Center offers a practical environment with sequenced programs in a variety of job skills. These programs are designed to prepare students for entry-level employment from high school or further specialty study in their chosen vocation. Advanced Placement Courses are offered to scholastic achievers seeking college credit from high school classes in English, calculus, U.S. history, economics or biology. By completing the classes with a specified core, students receive college credit from the State College Board. To further broaden their educational training, the school extends opportunities for growth and leadership through clubs and extracurricular activities. To foster a well-rounded individual, many fine arts and athletic opportunities are offered. Grenada High School students have the option to participate in the Naval Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (NROTC). One of eleven units in Mississippi, the NJROTC Program strives to teach self-discipline and self-confidence and to instill an ability to lead and motivate. Classroom instruction emphasizes citizenship, basic naval orientation and history, sea power, and seamanship. Classroom academics are augmented throughout the year by drill teams, a running team, community service activities, orientation trips, and other military training. Participation in NJROTC can assist students who are competing for an ROTC Uni- versity scholarship or an appointment to the Naval Academy, Air Force Academy, or West Point and allows entry into the armed forces up to three pay grades higher than other enlistees. The primary goal of the Grenada High School staff is to prepare students to be independent, self-motivated, and able to function effectively in society. Students receive a varied and solid base of knowledge to prepare the individual for employment or additional education experience. Students graduating from GHS earn 24 credit units unless participating in the Graduation Opt-out Policy, in which they must earn 21 credits.
