During the 2000-01 school year, Attica Public School was part of a grant to further schools to careers education. This was in conjunction with the South Central Kansas Education Service Center. Some funds were also available for local use. This grant provided funds for training in the Real Game series, for development and implementation of a curriculum, and for classroom resources. 

The program is K-12 and across the curriculum. Schools to Careers is introduced in kindergarten with a unit on My Community where the students learn about jobs, transportation, and recreation in their community.

The first grade expands the enrichment by visiting a local business, by having parents visit to discuss their careers, and by drawing the City of Attica. They focus on the location of services in the city and where their homes are in relation to the school.   

The second grade discusses different types of jobs that appear in their literature and social studies books, watch videos on different exciting jobs like fireman, policeman, airplane pilot and cheerleader, and have their first big writing assignment on “What I Want to Be When I’m an Adult.”

The third and fourth grades use the Play Real Game.  They plan and name a community, choose a home, buy a vehicle, and get a pet.  They are given a career, and do activities involving job hunting, job interviews, and job hiring. 

The fifth and sixth grades use the Make It Real Game.  The fifth focuses on what services are important in the community and how they can be a service to the community. The sixth grade works as a company that creates brochures on foreign countries.  This brings in multicultural aspects with the research of other countries, applying for passports and visa, and choosing careers available in that country.
