Southside offers technical training to high school students enrolled in the Fayette, Jessamine, Scott and Woodford County public school systems. Students spend half of their school day at their home school and the other half at Southside and can earn up to four elective credits in each program area per school year. After completing one year, students may enroll in a technical center program for a second year of advanced training. Offerings include carpentry, electricity, masonry, computers, electronics, electronics manufacturing, welding, culinary arts, nurse's aide and medical sciences. Students also can take math and English courses here. In addition, eight-graders from Fayette County middle schools can enroll in a technical academy that follows a pre-engineering curriculum.
What makes our school special
Our students annually bring home state and national accolades through the SkillsUSA program, and our medical sciences students have leadership training opportunities through the Health Occupational Students of America Association. Students leave Southside well on their way to successful careers in construction, manufacturing, human services and the medical field. They also leave with an advantage in post-secondary education because of our dual credit agreements with area technical schools, colleges and universities.
