High School + Event Planning

General High School Diploma + Event Planning Career Pathways Certificate

The JMHS General High School Diploma + Event Planning Career Pathways Certificate track offers introductory courses in professional event planning as part of your high school program. In place of two open electives, you’ll have two credit hours of high school-level study in the processes and techniques event planners use to produce a successful event. You’ll learn about budgeting, style, vendors and venues, marketing, business planning, and more as they relate to the organization of family, social, and corporate events. In the same amount of time required to earn a general high school diploma, you can earn your high school diploma plus a Career Pathways Certificate in Event Planning.

James Madison High School is nationally accredited by Cognia and the Distance Education Accrediting Commission. At JMHS you have the opportunity to work at your own pace from virtually anywhere so you can earn your high school diploma plus a Career Pathways Certificate on your own terms.

Academic guidance is provided by our highly trained academic advisors and state-certified teachers. The Event Planning Career Pathways track can help you develop small business skills to use after high school.
