Ninth grade students complete 35 hours in a required career class. The remaining 30 hours of activities are completed through regular classes, guidance and counseling activities, and the career center. The counseling department monitors each student's educational plan as well as career interests, aptitudes, and skills. The course helps identify interests, aptitudes, and abilities and provides opportunities to explore how they relate to educational and work careers.
Students also develop four-year career and educational plans which identify a tentative career goal.
This plan is updated each year in consultation with the student. Time is also spent on study skills with an emphasis on notetaking, test taking, time management, and general study skills.
