Business Focus Option

The Business Management/Marketing Focus Option is a four-year program leading its graduates toward college business schools and professional careers. This interdisciplinary program provides specialty concentrations in accounting, marketing, office systems and computer technology.

This Focus Option:

  • Features opportunities for students to increase business knowledge, interpersonal skills, oral and written communication skills.
  • Incorporates classroom business concepts and computer applications with hands-on, community-based training projects, internships, Future Business Leaders of America, and actual case studies.
  • Allows students to earn college credit through PCC for computer coursework.

ADMISSION

As of January 2010, the district will no longer designate transfer slots for specific school-based programs (such as Cleveland's International Baccalaureate or Business Focus Option) as part of the 2010 lottery. Students who do not live in the Cleveland attendance area and who wish to transfer to Cleveland High School will need to complete the PPS lottery form and apply for the "regular program". Once students are selected by the lottery to attend Cleveland, they may then forecast for pre-IB and/or Business Focus Option classes.

No longer is attendance at any Business Focus Option meeting mandatory. Parents and students are invited to attend an informational meeting instead.

Informational Meeting Times for 2010-2011:

Thursday, February 4th in the CHS Library, following Bridging the Gap Open House at 7 p.m.

Wednesday, March 3rd at 8:30 a.m. in Room 378-380 (This meeting falls after the District Transfer Deadline. Transfer students should complete the School Choice Form prior to attending this meeting.)

School Choice Form Available: Friday, January 22, 2010

District Transfer Deadline: Friday, February 26, 2010
