Your student’s counselor will help your student select appropriate courses and complete the forms for 2022-2023 registration. They will check for graduation requirements and courses required for your student’s plans after graduation.
We rely on families to explore passions, interests, and dreams with their students. We have provided many specific resources below that will help your student narrow a world of possibilities to a few that suit them.
Help your teen continually distill their ideas throughout high school. Watch videos, visit websites, and read with your student. Most of all, listen carefully to what really resonates with them. Those interests will fuel their learning and success. Help them notice where that they spend free time. What activities do they lose themselves in and forget time?
Economists predict that most of the careers these students will pursue do not exist now. What your student must find are the topics and skills that motivate them to learn and practice. The economy finds room for people who know what they want to do and learn to do it well.
Whatever your student’s plans, it is just the next step in a lifetime of learning—including college, internships, travel, volunteering, a job. Your student should discuss with you and then tell us that college may not be the next step. We can help them find a path that leads to a job they enjoy that will support the lifestyle they want.
Investigating them with you will prepare your student to give their counselor the information that will guide the most productive selection of courses for next year.
New resources announced in principal’s newsletter each week. After our counselors distribute information first to their students (because experience and science have taught us that students must own and lead this process), we will send those resources to you.
Can’t find it—Let us know so we can add it for next time.
Writing it down so there is no doubt that you and your student understand each other can save hours of family wrangling to manage commitments. Learn more here.
Fabian Rios, our College & Career Advisor, has many resources to help students explore jobs, careers, and colle.ges. His training helps students explore without undue stress. He coaches students to consider possibilities and then helps them find out what they need to know about those possibilities
Your student should begin working with Mr. Rios and exploring during their freshman year. But it is never too late.
Mr. Rios often works with students whose plans do not include college.
He also hosts college recruiter visits to our campus and can coach your student on how to take advantage of these opportunities.
