Carrick High School is a public school in the Carrick neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
Carrick is one of ten high schools in the Pittsburgh Public Schools, and one of the few to offer Business Technology and Health Technology Programs.
Business Technology Program
The Business Technology Program consists of three different levels, the first being an Introduction to Entrepreneurship which lasts one full year. During this time, students explore different business careers and success strategies while learning programs such as Microsoft Word, Powerpoint and Publisher. Level Two consists of a full year of accounting, followed by half a year of Excel Spreadsheets and half a year of Access Database. The third and final level provides two options; students can either choose to take a full year of Accounting II, or they can opt to take half a year of Web Design and half a year of Business Law.
Health Technology Program
The Health Tech Program was established in 1988, and set its goal to prepare students both professionally and academically for a career in the medical field. Currently, the program is divided into three levels, the first being Health Technology I. During this time, students become aware of different medical terms and definitions and also take part in various community service projects and field trips. Health Technology II involves a youth internship program with many UPMC hospitals, as well as the exploration of areas of interest, including but not limited to Anesthesiology, Emergency Medicine, Gerontology, Nursing and Occupational Therapy. The final stage, Health Technology III, links together the high school and the Community College of Allegheny County, offering students the opportunity to enroll and gain credits in at least one college level course.
Theater
Carrick is also known to have one of the best theater programs in the public school system. They were a contestant in the 2007 Gene Kelly Awards for their production of Crazy For You and continued to compete in 2008.
