The Riverchase Career Connection Center (RC3) opened its doors in August of 2019.  The state-of-the-art career training facility houses six academy programs: 

Culinary and Hospitality Academy

Cyber Innovation Academy

Fire Science Academy

Health Science Academy

Skilled Trades Academy

Cosmetology and Barbering 

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.
