AACP: Advisory
Academic advisement and career planning
AACP consists of Advisory, Remediation, Enrichment and Career Planning
Mission: For all Neenah High School graduates to be Future Ready. To be Future Ready means that students will be life-long learners, workers, engagers, and contributors.
Students are assigned to an advisory and will remain with that advisory throughout their high school career. In Advisory, students will engage in self-evaluation and conferencing with their advisors. Advisors facilitate the planning process for students to set personal, academic and career goals.
Remediation and Enrichment periods allow students to engage in additional academic support or experience additional learning opportunities that extend beyond what classroom time allows.
AACP at Neenah High School will provide support, guidance, and resources to students to unlock their potential and achieve their career goals.
Neenah High School is committed to:
Preparing all students to graduate from high school to be career, college, and global ready.
Providing students with relevant real-life experiences.
Developing life-long learners who are creative and critical thinkers.
Building agency and igniting a passion for excellence in all students.
Preparing all students to be Future Ready by equipping today's students for tomorrow's opportunities.
If you have questions about AACP please contact your student's counselor.
Under Wis. Stat. § 115.28(59)(b) every school board will ensure that it is providing academic and career planning services to pupils enrolled in grades 6 to 12 in the school district beginning in fall 2017.
