Clark Public Schools
Arthur L. Johnson High School students have the opportunity to participate in the Shared-Time Union County Career & Technical Institute Programs for tenth, eleventh and twelfth grade students on a part-time basis. Union County Career & Technical Institute offers a variety of shared-time programs for students interested in a vocational-technical curriculum. The ALJ Shared-Time program provides students with an opportunity to learn valuable skills and gain real-world experience in a trade program while also completing their high school graduation requirements at ALJ.
Students can take courses in Welding Technology, Culinary Arts & Hospitality, Allied Health, and Automotive Technology just to name a few. Some programs, like Cosmetology, are three-year programs while others, like Criminal Justice, Masonry, and Commercial Art, are two-year programs.
Recently, twelfth grade students in the Cosmetology program have had the opportunity to work part-time in salons or other related businesses to improve their techniques, utilize their knowledge, and gain experience in the field.
The Union County Vocational Technical Adult School also offers an array of postsecondary programs for graduating seniors at ALJ including Automotive Technology, Cosmetology, Electrical Technology, and HVAC/Plumbing.
