Another way we ensure all of our students are College and Career Ready is by integrating College and Career Planning into our school day. Students will be engaging in career exploration every week through a variety of projects, tasks, and programming facilitated by faculty, teachers, School Counselors, and the ELO Coordinator. Through this process, students will be able to identify the Career Cluster(s) they are most interested in and tailor their high school experience based on these long-term college and career goals.
For more information on each Career Cluster, click the gears below.
