Thank you!

Not all students are accepted into SVCTE, there are limited spaces available in the program, some classes are more competitive than others.

Students MUST be on track for graduation and have good attendance in order to participate in the program, this program is a year long commitment.

Students are only able to be enrolled in 3 classes at Piedmont Hills next year, in your interest form, you will list the 3 classes you would like to keep. Students do receive credits at PHHS and a letter grade for classes in SVCTE..

Students will still complete the class selections for next year as if they are not enrolled in SVCTE even if you submit the form.

Students will be informed whether they are accepted into the program after the selection process is complete in March.
