This "college block" even began before entering high school.  In 8th grade
there is an option of general math or algebra.  Kids with the aptitude could
also option into the high school foreign language classes.  This would push
these students into higher math, language, and reading/ writing electives by
the time they were seniors.  In the technology / shop block there would be
drafting 1 and 2, and possibly a 3rd year where there might be one or two stud 
ents who sit off the side of the class and receive advanced projects.  Wood
shop 1 and 2 work the same way, where the second year involves more comlex
projects and tool usage.  We could even opt for welding 1 and 2, and travel
to an adjacent school district that hosts the program for their students and
other adjacent systems.
