By definition, a high school student is deemed "Postsecondary Ready" when prepared for his or her passage from high school to the next stage of life. A high school student's next stage of life might include attending college, joining the workforce, and/or enlisting in the military. Becoming "Postsecondary Ready" allows students to gain industry certifications, take advanced courses, gain college credit, and a variety of other options to help make the transition from high school to adult life easier! Students can become either Academic or Career Ready in order to be deemed “Postsecondary Ready”. Whichever one fits the student and is best for his/her success is what we want them to complete!
