Freshman Success

All 9th graders take one semester of Freshman Success which uses the Get Focused Stay Focused program. This curriculum is designed to help  students understand the importance of academics and to build a solid foundation of skills such as self-analysis, time management, goal setting, decision making, career research, financial literacy and planning for the future. Every student will leave this class having completed an online career and education 10-year plan that includes their high school plans along with post-secondary options. During the course, students will learn and practice valuable skills to help them to be career and college ready. As students write their career and education 10-year plan, they learn the skills for goal setting, identity formation, decision making, budget projections, career research, skills identification, online research, life-long learning skills, managing change, securing entry-level employment, as well as techniques for exploring the personal management and self-mastery strategies that act as a buffer when challenges arise. Students have life-long access to their 10-year plan.
