McGavock High School
During the 2007-2008 school year, there were 11 changes made in the administration of McGavock High School. In fall 2008, McGavock initiated a Smaller Learning Community effort that included a 9th Grade Academy and a course called Freshman Seminar. By spring 2010, many positive changes helped McGavock regain community partners and institute wall-to-wall career academies.

Duval County Public Schools
This Jacksonville, Florida school district implemented Career Choices in 19 high schools.

Grace King High School
In 2006, this Metairie, Louisiana high school had only 74 percent of its freshman students going on to 10th grade. After implementing a Freshman Transition course using Career Choices, the 9th grade promotion rate jumped to 96 percent.
