Make the right move, choose Business Education...

The Business Education Department offers courses and programs to meet a wide variety of students' interests and needs. Accounting, computer applications, college prep, marketing, and law courses are all available for students to choose from. These courses provide students with the opportunity to explore future career decisions before graduating high school.

A large number of Rocky Point High School students who pursue two-year or four-year college degrees will major in some aspect of business or communications. This is not surprising when we consider that most of the jobs for the 21st century require a business and computer background.

We encourage all students to enroll in business courses while they are attending Rocky Point High School. These courses provide access to higher-paying employment as well as a sound foundation for a college education.

We are happy to answer any questions you may have about the courses we offer in addition to providing assistance in choosing a career path that is right for you!

Sincerely,

The Business Education Staff
