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:
“It has lately been drawn to your correspondent’s attention that, at social gatherings, she is not the human magnet she would be. Indeed, it turns out that as a source of entertainment, conviviality, and good fun, she ranks somewhere between a sprig of parsley and a single ice- skate. It would appear, from the actions of the assembled guests, that she is about as hot company as a night nurse.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
“Whether in the field of health, education or welfare, I have put my emphasis on preventive rather than curative programs and tried to influence our elaborate, costly and ill- co-ordinated welfare organizations in that direction. Unfortunately the momentum of social work is still directed toward compensating the victims of our society for its injustices rather than eliminating those injustices.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
