Early Post Secondary Opportunities

 

Courses and Programs for High School Students

From Advanced Academics to Earning a Licensed Skill in High School

Metro Schools students have many opportunities available to them to learn, explore interests and prepare for college or a career.

Some classes and programs our high schools offer, which are part of our district's Early Postsecondary Opportunities, also known as EPSOs, can include:

  • rigorous advanced academics courses on topics such as micoreconomics and human geography
  • rebuilding diesel engines
  • constructing skyscrapers using Computer-Aided Design software
  • earning college credit while in high school

Additionally, many MNPS seniors can begin college as a sophomore, based on their participation in an Early College program or earning college credits through other EPSOs.

 

Becoming a Tennessee Ready Graduate

MNPS guarantees every high school student the opportunity to participate in EPSOs to meet the Tennessee Department of Education’s definition of a Tennessee Ready Graduate, indicating a student developed the knowledge and skills for success in college, the workforce, or military service.
