As a Program of Emphasis, the Modeling and Simulation program is open to:

• Students zoned for Hagerty High School
• Out of zone students on an approved Program of Emphasis transfer
• Limited to incoming 9th grade students

For specific eligibility and application information, please visit the Student Assignment and Program Access website.

• Transportation is provided to eligible in-zone students living more than two miles from the school.
• Transportation is not provided for out-of-zone Program of Emphasis students.
• Approved out-of-zone transfer students may apply for transportation through the Ticket to Ride program (bit.ly/SCPSTicketToRide). Through this program it is possible that a student may be granted access to pre-existing bus routes (pending space availability). This program does not create bus stops or bus routes and is not guaranteed for the duration of the transfer.

Hagerty High School's Modeling, Simulation and Analysis Program is carefully designed to:

• Develop the use of necessary skills and tools to navigate and create detailed models and virtual simulations
• Provide students with a broad understanding of the modeling and simulation field (foundations, design, applications, innovation and prototyping)
• Engage students to solve real-world problems

Students will utilize industry programs such as Autodesk Maya, Inventor, Fusion 360, Unity and Unreal Engine.

With over 300 companies and 16,000 professionals, Florida is a major center for modeling, simulation and training (MST). Companies throughout Florida are building simulation and training systems for the defense, medical, entertainment, education and other sectors, such as:
