PLAN

Junior year is when your planning becomes real. You’ll focus on making decisions about your post-high school path—whether college, career, military, or training—and building the skills to succeed.

Your quarterly focus includes:

• Q1: Who Am I?
  Reassess your strengths and goals to make sure your plan fits you.
  
  

• Q2: Where Am I Going?
  Develop a clear postsecondary plan that fits your goals and interests.
  
  

• Q3: How Will I Get There?
  Prepare college and career applications, practice interviews, and learn about financial aid like FAFSA and scholarships.
  
  

• Q4: What Will I Contribute?
  Reflect on your learning, update your digital portfolio, and get ready to take the next step.
  
  

Your work this year will bring you closer to confidently stepping into your future.
