About Us

The Riverchase Career Connection Center (RC3) opened its doors in August of 2019. Multiple corporate and government business entities have partnered with Hoover City Schools to make RC3 a reality. Formerly Pelham Middle School, the facility was bought from Pelham City Schools in 2017 and completely renovated. Each academy program features high-tech simulated workspaces. The state-of-the-art career training facility houses seven academy programs:

Automotive Academy

Cosmetology & Barbering Academy
Culinary and Hospitality Academy
Cyber Innovation Academy
Fire Science Academy
