Career Majors
Freshman are required to select a career major in order to meet graduation requirements. Please remember that students can always change their mind, and it’s a great opportunity to try classes in a career that your child may be currently interested in pursuing. Now is a great time for you and your child to review all high school career majors and post-secondary education plans. This career major will influence the classes your son or daughter takes throughout the next three years in high school and whether or not they will attend CCTC.

Wellness NO SMOKE NOVEMBER
Did you know that last month the state of Maryland passed legislation making it illegal to
purchase any tobacco product, including vapes, juuls, chewing tobacco, cigars, and cigarettes
for anyone under the age of 21? This law was prompted by a recent investigation by the CDC
into a mysterious lung illness that is killing kids who vape!
● In 2018 e-cigarette use nearly doubled in high school students
● All Juuls and most vapes contain nicotine
● One Juul nicotine refill pod contains as much nicotine as 20 cigarettes
● Vaping and juuliing increase the chance of developing anxiety and depression
● Nicotine is one of the hardest substances to quit and is at least as hard to quit as heroin
● The aerosol from e-cigarettes contains harmful chemicals and compounds similar to car
exhaust as well as heavy metals like lead.
Be aware of the different types of e-cigarettes available and talk with students about the
dangers of using these products. The Caroline County Health Department and the Wellness
Center at North Caroline High School has resources to help kids quit as well as information for parents.
Wellness at NCHS is available Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:30 until 3:00.
