Mission
The mission of the Florence Career Center is to provide career awareness to all
students with an equal opportunity to develop a marketable skill and good
character in order to become productive citizens.
Philosophy
The philosophy
of education in Florence School District One is to educate all citizens with
regard to their interests and abilities and to the extent that our means and
facilities will allow. It is the responsibility of the Florence Career
Center to meet the needs of each student who is interested in developing
occupational and life skills.
Occupational
Education serves as a bridge between the student and the world of work by
providing the necessary entry-level training to enter an occupation. It is
essential that each individual develop skills which will yield sufficient income
to meet the necessities of life.
Occupational course
offerings provide educational opportunities for those who are college bound and
those who desire training which qualifies them for the ever changing world of
work in business and industry.
The occupational
curriculum of Florence School District One emphasizes preparation of young
people for employment, job responsibility, and citizenship.
