College and Career REadiness

What is CCMR?

College Career and Military Readiness (CCMR) is about preparing students for life after graduation. It is made up of curriculum, resources, programs, and activities that help students have the tools they need to enter college or the workforce and begin a career. CCMR is integrated into the everyday culture of our district and is supported by state guidelines, partnerships with higher education organizations, and businesses.

How do we help Students Prepare?

CCMR is important from elementary school to graduation. Our academics are structured around giving students a well-rounded educational foundation for specialized learning later in life. We also provide opportunities like Dual Credit and Advanced Placement courses, as well as Career and Technical courses, for students to start their exploration early.

Helping students to discover and plan for their future is part of daily life across the district through our:

Challenging curriculum
Informative resources and tools
Supportive staff
Events and activities that jumpstart planning, such as CTE
College testing offered at the high school (PSAT, SAT, TSIA2, and AP tests)

CCMR Accountability
