The Lodging Management Program (LMP) is an advanced, high school curriculum that immerses the student into the world of hospitality. This two year (360 hour) program will introduce students to the lodging industry and teach them the management principles that will enable them to achieve success in a hospitality leadership role. Completing this program will open many doors of opportunity and set the students on an exciting career path. The program includes an internationally recognized certification, Certified Rooms Division Specialist, created especially for the LMP curriculum, and articulation agreements with several accredited hospitality management colleges and universities.
