businesses. Many of the Pathways also offer dual-credit course opportunities through our partnership with Elgin Community College and/or industry certification.
A limited number of seats (available on first-come, first serve basis) will be available in each pathway program for transfer students. If you are interested to apply for a transfer in order to enroll in pathway courses at another high school, the Intra-District Transfer Form should be printed out, completed, and submitted to the district office along with the application form by March 1. www.d300.org/pathways
