Attending Metro is free. There are no tuition or fees for students or participating schools. As a High School Career Center, Metro is funded in part by the Arkansas Office of Skills Development.

What About Transportation?

Students driving to campus must obtain a parking permit through Metro. Transportation is the sole responsibility of the school/student.
