CTAE classes are designed so that students can take them as part of a "career pathway," or area of interest, in order to gain job skills in specific fields such as health care, construction, and cosmetology. Students can also complete a pathway in the fine arts or a foreign language; HCHS offers French and Spanish. Students are not required to take specific elective courses, with the exception of Physical Education, which is required by the state of Georgia. All elective courses offered at HCHS can be used to satisfy the elective requirements for the state.[5]
