The Full Story

6th Grade ACP

Classroom teacher, the School Counselor and the ACP team members will work with students to know, explore, plan, and go. Students continue building awareness through middle school and begin to explore career clusters in a more personalized way. Increased self awareness with ones interests, strengths, soft skills, and personality traits helps students make connections to which career cluster could be a good fit for them They will document this process using Xello so their work follows them to high school.

About Us

College and Career Ready

Whether your post-secondary goals include attending a competitive 4-year University, the local 2-year Community & Technical College, joining a branch of the military or applying to enter the workforce immediately upon graduation, your course of study and how you perform during high school directly impacts what options you will have.

We want to encourage students to challenge themselves at the most rigorous level possible but we also want to see students able to monitor and balance all activities when choosing high school courses. It is important to consider your involvement in leadership opportunities, athletics, music, community service, employment, and other extracurricular activities when choosing your course load.
