Preparing for the Next Step
What’s your plan? It is not too early to begin planning for college and career. Students in grade 8 will explore career options and begin to plan for course options in programs of study that begin in the 9th grade. These courses of study will lead to graduation endorsements geared towards 2 or 4 year colleges, apprenticeships or training, or even military.
