Empowering Success

The Career Academy of Business Administration & Management (CABAM) at Palm Harbor University High School is an award-winning, comprehensive college and career preparatory program dedicated to preparing students for success in business, higher education, and life. Recognized as a CAPE Academy and an Academy of Distinction with Distinguished Honors, CABAM combines rigorous academic instruction, industry-recognized certifications, college credit opportunities, and meaningful real-world experiences.

Through specialized coursework in business management, entrepreneurship, accounting, finance, business law, technology, and hospitality and tourism, students develop practical knowledge and technical skills applicable across a wide range of industries and career paths. Our curriculum emphasizes critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, leadership, financial literacy, and the professional skills today's employers and colleges value.

CABAM believes that meaningful learning extends well beyond the classroom. Students participate in internships, job shadowing, business field trips, career exploration activities, industry presentations, and professional networking opportunities. Partnerships with local businesses and our Community Advisory Board connect students directly with professionals, helping them explore career possibilities while applying classroom knowledge in authentic business environments.

Students are also encouraged to develop their leadership and competitive skills through Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA), where they can participate in business competitions, leadership conferences, community service, and professional development activities at the local, state, and national levels.

At the heart of CABAM is our commitment to GRIT: Growth, Respect, Integrity, and Tenacity. These values guide our expectations for academic achievement, personal responsibility, professionalism, and character development.

Our mission, Empowering Success, reflects our belief that business education provides essential skills for every student, regardless of their intended college major or career. Whether students aspire to become entrepreneurs, business professionals, or leaders in other industries, CABAM provides the foundation, experiences, and confidence to pursue their goals successfully.
