By successfully completing A-G coursework, students are demonstrating that they are college-prepared and career-ready.

In the 21st century workplace, finding and keeping a job that pays well requires higher-order thinking skills.

In order to accomplish this, students must take a rigorous high school program that teaches a foundation of skills that will prepare them for college and the workplace. Some of these skills include: applying, analyzing and synthesizing complex information.

By adopting A-G as the standard and requiring students pass with a ‘C’ or better (really a ‘B’ to be competitive, we are raising the bar for all students to be competitive in today’s workforce, whether they go straight into a career or go on to a 4-year college.
