Prosser Career Education Center

What Prosser Career Education Center does

Prosser Career Education Center is a public career and technical education (CTE) high school located at 4202 Charlestown Road in New Albany, Indiana, operating as a school within the New Albany Floyd County Consolidated School Corporation (NAFCS). The institution delivers career-focused training across 20+ programs, including construction trades, automotive technology, welding, cosmetology, culinary arts, health occupations, criminal justice, early childhood education, aviation, fire rescue, heavy equipment, machine tool, dental careers, computer science, and business. Programs combine classroom instruction, hands-on training, and work-based learning to prepare students for immediate employment or post-secondary education, with articulation agreements with Vincennes University enabling students to earn college credit.

The school operates as a government state entity rather than a commercial enterprise, with no commercial pricing for students; funding derives from state education appropriations, local property taxes, and federal education grants. Its core technology stack consists of standard educational platforms — Google Classroom, Chromebooks, ClassLink, PowerSchool, and IncidentIQ for technology support ticketing — with no proprietary software development or AI capabilities disclosed. Operations are supported by third-party partners including Kelly Education (substitute teacher management), HES Facilities Management (custodial services), and local farms (Fischer Farms and 3D Valley Farm) for food services.

The center serves primarily high school students within the NAFCS district enrollment system, with secondary outreach to adult learners and community members through continuing education programs. There is no membership, fee, or per-seat revenue model; instead, the value proposition is publicly funded vocational training that addresses the regional skills gap and provides a credentialed pathway from secondary education into the local workforce. The institution is led by Principal Nancy Campbell, Director of CTE Programs Dr. Kyle Lanoue, and Assistant Principal Jaime Green, and is governed by the district's elected school board.
