So, I've decided that I'm going to go to http://www.butlertech.org/ next year. This means I'll spend about half a day at my high school, and then go there for the rest of the day (or vice-versa). I don't have a lot of time to get the application in, and I still don't know what I should do. Help?

The classes are:

Commercial Arts:
Illustration, typography, logo design, digital photography and advertising/market.
Communications/Broadcasting:
Learning to become a Director, audio visual specialist, writer, on-air talent videographer, disk jockey, animator, advertising executive, digital video editor, and producer.
Business Office Education:
Records management, word processing, spreadsheets, databases, accounting, desktop publishing, and web page design.
Cosmetology:
Shaping and styling, tinting and bleaching, highlighting, chemical relaxing, permanent waving, manicuring and pedicuring, hand, arm, and foot massage, facial treatments, and makeup application.
Criminal Justice:
Learn skills such as search and seizure, mechanics of an arrest, patrol procedures, traffic enforcement, narcotics and drug abuse control, criminal investigation, fingerprinting, rappelling, and armament systems and procedures.
Culinary Arts:
Menu planning and design, nutrition, food preparation and service, sanitation, safety, inventory control and calculation of food quantities and costs.
Early Childhood education:
Child development, academic curriculum development, sanitation, communicable disease recognition, preschool nutrition, child abuse prevention and recognition, and daycare law and administration.
Computer Systems/Network Technology:
Computer architecture and repair, network architecture and troubleshooting, hubs, switches and CISCO routers.
Equine Science:
Equine breeding, genetics and nutrition.
Veterinary Sciences:
Research methods, veterinary terminology, anatomy and physiology, clinical exams and procedures, preventative care, medical equipment use, animal nutrition, and veterinary office management.

These aren't all of them, but they're the ones that I'm some-what interested in.
What would you guys do?

Can't you just take general studies courses rather than a program (especially if you aren't sure what you want to study)?

^I could, but things like this will look really good on a college application.

Ohh! I have this at my school too. I was going to take hospitality but the stupid lady in the counselor's office told me they canceled it when they didn't.

I suggest cosmetology if you can get a license after the course because it can help you pay for college/earn money.

I would do commercial arts or computer systems.
Commercial arts sounds awesome though!

I applied today.
Culinary Art is my first choice, and Commercial Arts is my second.
