At Warren, we’re proud to offer students a one-of-a-kind opportunity to dive into engineering starting their very first year of high school. Our Honors Engineering Pathway is designed to inspire, challenge, and prepare students for future success in college, careers, and beyond.

Our Bears begin their journey with Honors Engineering I (9th Grade) and Honors Engineering II (10th Grade). In these courses, students gain fundamental skills in CAD modeling, manufacturing processes, wiring, programming, and design thinking while working hands-on with industry-level equipment. From 3D printing and CNC milling to laser cutting, engineering physics, and precision measurements, our students are building a foundation most won’t experience until college.

By junior year, students choose one of two specialized pathways to match their interests:

  • CTE: Engineering Manufacturing
  • CTE: Engineering Mechatronics

Being a part of these programs also opens doors beyond the classroom. Students can participate in SkillsUSA, competing in regional, state, and national challenges that develop technical skills and leadership. They can also join Warren’s FRC Robotics Team, collaborating to design, build, and compete with a full-scale robot — an experience that combines teamwork, engineering, and innovation in a real-world setting.

The Honors Engineering Pathway is not only engaging but also rewarding. Students earn Honors credit with a GPA boost, college credits, and have the chance to earn industry certifications that will set them apart for future opportunities.

The Honors Engineering Pathway is the only Honors CTE elective available at Warren and is aligned with the accelerated math track that begins in our feeder middle schools, Griffiths and Stauffer. The course is designed for students in advanced math, those who are passionate about STEM, and anyone ready for an academic elective that goes above and beyond.

The Honors Engineering Pathway doesn’t just prepare students for the future — it empowers them to discover their passions, develop real-world skills, and become the next generation of innovators and problem-solvers.
