[edit] Special Programs
PCA - Olathe South features a special program called Professional Careers Academy, or PCA. The PCA's goals are to teach students leadership skills and ethics and prepare students for life after high school. [1] The PCA also brings in guest speakers in a program called the "PCA Lecture Series". This has brought in such speakers as ethics professor Marianne Jennings and local judge Janice Russell. [2]
CaSE - This stands for Computer and Software Engineering, the second 21st century program to come to Olathe South. This program provides students with the computer programming skills they need for their future endeavors in the computer market.
Eco-Club- Ran by Tim Oberhelman, eco-club is derived from the Student Naturalist class, which has also gained quite a bit of popularity for those concerned about the environment. Oberhelman says he's been trying to changed the class from a "Petting Zoo" into something special, credible and more educational.
