(NCRC).
The overall results from the Class of 2026 are as follows:
Platinum - 13
Gold - 11
Silver - 13
Bronze - 10
This achievement reflects the dedication of our students and the strength of our College and Career Readiness program. Starting in the 8th grade, students begin career exploration through Career Development, continue this exploration in Keystone in the 9th grade, and during their senior year, students complete the ACT WorkKeys curriculum, building the workplace skills employers value while preparing to earn their National Career Readiness Certification.
Since 2022, 188 Mountainburg High School seniors have graduated with their National Career Readiness Certification, demonstrating their commitment to workforce readiness and positioning themselves for success beyond high school.
