Post Secondary Planning-Enrolled, Enlisted or Employed
Post-Secondary Planning: Enrolled, Enlisted, or Employed helps students prepare for life after high school by focusing on three pathways: enrolling in college or a technical program, enlisting in the military, or becoming employed in the workforce. This plan ensures that every student has the knowledge, resources, and support needed to make informed decisions about their future. Working together with families and community partners, schools help students graduate ready to take their next step with confidence.
