April is College and Career month across the district. All schools within the district will be promoting college and careers. Our main hallway has been decorated according to the 16 career clusters as well as with college posters, banners and the career words of wisdom provided by parents. The 10th and 11th grade students can now pick up their GPA verification forms from the counseling center. The GPA verification form allows students to learn their GPA, see what is on their transcripts, and bring any errors to the attention of the counseling staff. During lunches the following career videos will be shown:
16th - Careers in Broadcasting
17th - Careers in Health Careers
18th - Careers in Electronic Industry
19th - Careers in Plastic Industry
