Niagara Falls High School Mandates Career Pathways Amid College Enrollment Drop
Niagara Falls High School requires all juniors and seniors to select one of five career pathways, including business, engineering, and human services. This shift responds to a rising trend where nearly one-third of seniors opt out of college, reflecting national declines in higher education enrollment. The district aims to prepare students for the local workforce through internships and dual-credit partnerships with SUNY Niagara and regional employers.
