Arts, Communications, and Information Systems (ACIS)

The SGPHS Academy concept provides students with a sense of belonging and the opportunity to explore their interests and aptitudes while receiving a solid foundation in academics. The goals of the Academies are to open a student's mind to relevancy of academic courses and to show how high standards relate to career success. In addition to the essential academics elements, students will develop knowledge regarding careers where they may best utilize their talents and aptitudes. Additionally, they are given specific guidance planning related to post-secondary opportunities in the current job market, military, colleges, technical school and/or a combination of these options. The five academies are designed to address the broad spectrum of student interest and career possibilities and provide transferable skills.
