Classroom Guidance Lessons
During the sophomore year, most students are introduced to a personality inventory that allows them to learn more about themselves and possible careers that fit their interests. Students who don't get a chance to take the inventory at school are encouraged to do so on their own. For Naviance login help or questions regarding the inventory results, please contact a member of the counseling department.
