  • Career & Technical Education Tech Prep

    Tech Prep is an agreement between Ferguson-Florissant School District's high schools and the St. Louis Community College system (all campuses) that allows students to earn both high school and college credit in certain courses for a particular unit of study. As a result, a high school graduate can enter St. Louis Community College with up to twelve hours of college credit. There is no charge for this program and the course credit is free. Students must remain in the same department and take the equivalent high school courses in sequence for tech prep credit to occur. College credit is received when student successfully complete the courses with a B or above. Any student enrolled in a Tech Prep articulated course will register on CATEMA (Online Management System for Career and Technical Education) provided by St. Louis Community College. Each student will continue to update any additional Tech Prep articulated courses completed during the student's high school career on the CATEMA system.
