Magnet Programs
During the 1990s as the Jefferson County (KY) Public Schools moved their Career and Technical Education Programs into the local high schools Doss became the recipient of three magnet programs: Cosmetology, Early Childhood Education, and Pre-Engineering. Currently, Doss is a Business and Information Technology (BIT) themed school. Through its partnership with Class Act Federal Credit Union, the school has the first and only student-run credit union branch in the county. Students can major in accounting, banking and financial services, entrepreneur, and management in the "Class Act Academy of Business and Finance."
The new Information Technology program makes Doss the premier technology-themed school in Southwest Jefferson County. Doss currently has 10 computer labs and 7 technology teachers. Students can major in computer repair, help desk, programming, and structured cabling.
The addition to the BIT program, Advance Program and Advanced Placement programs at Doss have helped Doss establish a new vision for all graduates to be "technology proficient, business literate, and college ready."

Famous quotes containing the words magnet and/or programs:
“While this magnetic,
Peripatetic
Lover he lived to learn,
By no endeavor
Can a magnet ever
Attract a Silver Churn!”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
“There is a delicate balance of putting yourself last and not being a doormat and thinking of yourself first and not coming off as selfish, arrogant, or bossy. We spend the majority of our lives attempting to perfect this balance. When we are successful, we have many close, healthy relationships. When we are unsuccessful, we suffer the natural consequences of damaged and sometimes broken relationships. Children are just beginning their journey on this important life lesson.”
—Cindy L. Teachey. “Building Lifelong Relationships—School Age Programs at Work,” Child Care Exchange (January 1994)
