Included under the umbrella of Career and Technical Education is the Innovative School
Model Grant.  This state grant is having a far-reaching impact on students across
Morgan County.  The Pathway to Pipeline Program has more deeply integrated most,
if not all, CTE programs offered in Morgan County. Pathway to Pipeline provides CTE
students with a very unique, effective, and efficient opportunity to be educated in the
programs of study while pursuing post-secondary credits, industry credentials, and
work-based learning opportunities. This Innovative School Model brings our school's
CTE programs, Morgan County Career and Technical Center, and our middle and high
schools into one comprehensive plan that allows students at an early age to investigate
careers, become involved with the world of STEM, and then pursue to those ambitious
career goals moving into high school.  The CTE Senior Academy at Morgan County,
Career and Technical Center provides a culminating experience for our seniors as they
prepare to transition to the next steps on their Career Pathway.
