Career Planning Figuring out what to do for work is a process that happens over time, it's not a single one-time decision. Counselors meet with Sophomores in their English class to help them understand a thoughtful process to make a career decision. Students are then asked to think about what they want in a job. They will then be shown how to use the Choices program to learn about carrer possibilities and the education necessary to do the job. College Planning Planning for college begins with choosing courses that will meet college entrance requirements and then making a serious effort to achieve at the highest possible level.
Students meet with their couselor each year to review plans and select appropriate courses.
Students who are serious about further education should plan to take the PSAT in grade 11. Counselors recommend that students take the SAT at the end of their junior year. For students that need additional exams, the ACT Assessment Tests are also given at Sahuaro High School and surrounding high schools. To help students make good decisions the counselors urge students to use the college planning guides for grades 11 and 12. To help students collect information, counselors also have all Seniors attend the college fair on campus.
