CareerPathways

CareerPlanning

Students should choose a career path that blends their values, interests and abilities, and which leads to the achievementof personal, educational and career goals (this process is supported through Naviance). The selection of a career path is a cooperative effort that involves the student, parents, teachers and counselors. Students arenotlockedintoapathorprogram ofstudybutareencouragedtoexploreallavailableopportunities.

A career path outlines the high school courses required for a standard diploma, recommends career and technical studies electives,andshowsrelatedcommunitycollegeandcollegeprogramsleadingtosuccessfulcareerentryandadvancement

The selection of a career pathway is a cooperative effort involving the student, parents, teachers and counselors. For more informationabouttheCareerPlanning,pleaserefertothefollowingwebsites:
