Academic Advisory 9

The Academic Advisory 9 class is designed to help students make a smooth transition to high school and further develop skills, strategies and attitudes needed to achieve their personal and academic goals. Students use educational computer software programs to explore their college and career interests, take a multitude of career tests and begin the creation of their Digital Portfolios. Focusing on social and emotional development, the course addresses responsible decision-making processes, interpersonal and self-management skills, ethical choices and ways of being, and an appreciation for civic responsibility.

Class seminars are held with administrators, counselors and teachers reviewing information on course selection, academic path plans, and co-curricular activities available for students. This includes, but is not limited to, participation in athletics, clubs, student government and service activities.
