PRATTVILLE, Ala. – Prattville Christian Academy (PCA) is proud to announce a new dual enrollment partnership with Central Alabama Community College (CACC) that encourages students to begin workforce training, college education, and career preparation while completing their high school diploma. These offerings will be classified as PCA’s Career Tech Academy and added to the specialized areas currently offered for PCA students, including the four-year Engineering Academy and the Healthcare Academy that partners with Prattville Baptist Hospital.
