Southeast Raleigh Magnet High School Engineering & IT Academy
Southeast Raleigh High School’s Engineering & IT Academy offers students two different course pathways to follow through high school to earn a NAFTrack Certification from the National Academy Foundation. Students take one course each year in the academy subject and are grouped with other academy students in a core class. This allows for a cross-curricular project each year. Students also participate in career exploration activities, job shadowing and a 120-hour internship before graduating from the academy. The program has a 100% graduation rate. Most students choose to attend college, but some take their skills directly into the workforce. For more information, please contact Margaret Esselborn at messelborn@wcpss.net. The program accepts 50 rising freshmen each year. Your student can apply to join the academy here.
