High School ACP

high School Academic and Career Planning (ACP)

What does ACP look like at our high schools?

Throughout their time at our high schools, students will have a variety of opportunities to thoughtfully consider who they are as people and how that relates to future career options.

Students will utilize Xello to engage in career-related exploration. Students will complete interest inventories, career research, set academic and personal goals and do reflections with the support of faculty and staff.

Students will be exposed to a variety of hands-on experiences to help them begin narrowing the focus of possible career options.

Questions about your child's ACP experiences? Contact your child's teacher or school counselor.
