Four Year Academic Plans


Planning your high school years can make a big difference in how you get through high school, what you accomplish, and what your future options are. Both academic preparation and vocational training are appropriate during high school. Some helpful questions that should be discussed and answered between you and your parent/guardian when planning your class choices:
 
Question # 1: What is your primary educational goal at the conclusion of your senior year?
a. Meet minimum college admission requirements
b. To enter the community, state, or university college system prepared to take college‐credit courses (and avoid remedial math and/or English classes)
c. To be competitive for admission to an elite university
d. To gain and enhance career‐technical skills and experiences while meeting minimum high school graduation requirements
 
Question # 2: What area of study do you want to emphasize, if any? What are your natural abilities, interest, or passion for a particular field?
 
Question # 3: Is there a career you are interested in pursuing?
