There’s an African proverb that says it takes a village to raise a child — and our numerous partners prove that every day!

The district is thrilled to partner with OhioHealth, which has provided a 2,000-square-foot classroom at its Pickerington Medical Campus for our high school biomedical sciences program. Through this unique partnership, students learn hands-on skills in an actual working hospital — even getting the chance to shadow working professionals and see patient care firsthand.

The district also has partnered with regional colleges and universities such as Columbus State Community College, Central Ohio Technical College, and Shawnee State to provide College Credit Plus courses, giving high school and junior high school students college and high school credit for the same rigorous classes.

We are working with The Ohio State University to provide internships for future social workers, bringing needed services and skills into our schools.

Pickerington Schools are currently working with Lead Higher to expand participation in Advanced Placement (AP) courses for minorities and other under-represented student populations.

Our high school students who are  interested in career pathways also have the opportunity to pursue their education through more than a dozen programs offered through Eastland-Fairfield Career and Technical Schools.
