The TriDistrict Career and College Readiness Initiative is a unique partnership between the school districts of South St. Paul, Inver Grove Heights, and West. St. Paul-Mendota Heights-Eagan. This partnership is a collaborative effort to guarantee that all students of South St. Paul Secondary School, Simley High School, and Two Rivers High School graduate with a plan for their “next step” and has the skills, knowledge, attributes, and attitudes to be successful, wherever their chosen pathway takes them.
Of critical importance for students is for them to have a wide array of Career and College Readiness experiences, exposures, and explorations. To support the goals of our Initiative, TriDistrict schools, in collaboration with community and business partners, have developed unique and immersive learning experiences for TriDistrict juniors and seniors. Students completing TriDistrict courses earn both elective credit and required English credit.
