Pierce County Skills Center

 

Another available resource for CTE credits is the Pierce County Skills Center (PCSC), which is a year-long program open to juniors and seniors who've met core graduation requirements. The PCSC also offers free summer school to all grade levels, from incoming freshmen to seniors. The PCSC has a separate application process and Orting High School has a supplemental application - both need to be submitted to your counselor to determine program eligibility.  The PCSC website details program offerings, open house dates and applications (also found below), which open each March. Students interested in the PCSC must check with their counselor to determine if they are eligible to attend.

The OHS Pierce County Skills Center Supplemental form is a required OHS document. Complete and email to Ms Frey after being accepted to PCSC!
