Career and Technical Education
OPHS students have access to Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs at the Erie 2 BOCES Ormsby Educational Center. Students enrolled in an approved CTE program acquire the skills, knowledge, and professional practices necessary for success in college and the workforce. Students experience relevant, challenging, industry-aligned curricula supported by current technology in learning environments that foster high academic achievement and skill development. Coursework is organized to provide both theory and hands-on experiences.
*A majority of OPHS students go to the Ormsby Center through Erie 2 BOCES for their CTE programs. There may be additional programs offered through Erie 1 BOCES that a student can access. Please see your high school counselor for more information.

Erie 2 BOCES: Ormsby CTE Center
Most CTE programs are two-year programs that begin in a student's junior year. Juniors spend the first five periods at OPHS and then go to the Ormsby Center for the rest of their day. Seniors spend the first four periods at the Ormsby Center and return to OPHS for the rest of their day. Counselors host a field trip to Ormsby in December of sophomore year, and students can sign up for their programs with their school counselor during this timeframe.
