The Career Planning and Course Guide:

This guide provides information that will help students choose classes for the next school year. Selecting the appropriate classes for each student is important as it may impact a student’s grade point average, eligibility to enroll in higher-level courses, college admissions qualifications, athletic eligibility, and career preparedness.

What Students and Parents Need to Discuss:

• What are the student's interests?
• What skills does the student possess that may develop into a career path?
• What challenges does the student possess that may impact future goals?
• Will the student attend a university, technical college, an apprenticeship program, or the military, or prepare for a career directly upon graduation?
• What standard of living, lifestyle, and work environment is most appealing for the student?
• What financial considerations need to be a part of post-high school decisions?

Regardless of the student’s post-high school goal, it is recommended that a student challenge themselves through appropriately rigorous coursework while maintaining a high level of academic achievement. Keeping options open as future plans change is best obtained through a high level of student preparedness.
