Program Philosophy and Goals
The philosophy of the Network Systems program is to provide 11th and 12th grade students with a pathway from high school to college and onto careers in order to meet the demands of today’s complex information technology society. The primary goals of this program are to:
1. Integrate mathematics and technical instruction.
2. Learn in a lab setting that simulates a workplace technological environment
3. Provide skills in organization, leadership, planning, and interpersonal communication.
4. Provide a foundation for students to further their technical knowledge on a post secondary level.
5. Develop occupational safety habits and understanding to recognize work hazards.
6. Acquire valuable internet technology skills including network, cabling and troubleshooting skills.
7. Explore internetworking concepts such as standards, topology, models, protocols, devices, operating systems and applications.
8. Assemble a simple computer network and test its operation.
Overview of Program
The Network Systems at Lakewood High School) is a two-year program designed for 11th and 12th grade students who are interested in pursuing post-secondary education upon graduation. The program curriculum is based on the itWORKS.OHIO Information Technology Career Field Technical Content Standards for Network Systems. itWORKS.OHIO, serves as the curricular framework for Ohio College Tech Prep and Career-Technical Education programs in information technology. These standards are the result of a collaborative effort by a panel of representatives from secondary, post-secondary and business leaders.
Students are encouraged to take the right classes so that they are prepared for their next step in life. The following pathway chart is a recommended sequence for students interested in this career field.

In the 11th and 12th grade component of the Tech Prep program, all students are part of a seamless curriculum, which allows student to transition into post-secondary programs. Each competency and competency builder in the required curriculum is designated to be introduced, proficient, or reinforced at various levels.
The basic instructional philosophy for the Tech Prep programs encourages project-based learning. To this end, a senior project will be completed by each student as a culmination of their high school exit from tech prep. An advisory committee comprised of representatives from business and industry, program graduates and academic representatives from school meets twice each year to provide input and guidance in this program.
Throughout the school year, students may participate in a variety of work-based learning in order to observe and interact with employees, employers and administrative personnel in order to learn more about the industry as a whole. Early placement/ internships/ mentoring assignments/ job shadowing are all examples of work-based opportunities.
Students enrolled in Network Systems are also members of North Coast Tech Prep consortia. Students are encouraged to participate in the Tech Prep Regional Showcase.
