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.
