The purpose of this page is to provide resources and information for undocumented high school students, both with and without DACA, to help families make informed decisions about their futures and acquire the tools they need to advocate for themselves at the high school and college levels. While geared primarily toward the needs of undocumented students, this page may also be helpful to students with other immigrant backgrounds and experiences.
One thing you should know as an undocumented student is that legally, educators and staff at K-12 schools cannot inquire about your immigration status or the immigration status of your family. You have the power to disclose information about your immigration status if you feel comfortable doing so.
Below are a few possible paths for high school graduates and some resources to help you achieve them.
