What is a Student Success
Plan (SSP)?
The Farmington High School school counseling curriculum provides information and skill development to support the schoolwide Student Success Plan (SSP) through the individual student planning component of the comprehensive program. The SSP is an individualized student-driven plan intended to address the students' needs and interests through various activities developed through an electronic portfolio. As part of the school counseling contribution to the SSP, each year starting in grade 6 and progressing through grade 12, students focus on educational and postsecondary planning, goal setting, and highlighting student work completed through the school counseling and advisory curriculums in each school.
