Choose Your Pathway
Learning Pathways
The Harrisburg School District believes that every student can be a successful learner, although the path each one takes may be different. The District supports our learners through a variety of programs designed to meet them where they are and guide them to a successful entrance into continuing two-year or four-year education programs or with the skills they need to enter workforce.
There are two main pathways - Traditional and Customized Learning. Students must choose the pathway they feel best suits them.
Once you have reviewed the two main learning pathways, please select the pathway that best suits you and fill out the linked form below with your decision. Ninth and tenth grade students will choose pathway by subject and students in grades 11-12 will choose one pathway. This will determine how your class schedule is constructed, so it is important this is completed as soon as possible.
