Thus far juniors have been exploring a process of planning for life after high school. Three publications have been given each student: The 2010-11 College Planning Guide, The Countdown to College Calendar and the ACT Get Set for College. Within these guides a thorough series of tasks to perform during the next two years are laid out. If any parents or school community stakeholders would like copies of these guides give Mr. Johnson a call at 641-444-4300 extension 254.
Additionally juniors have learned that not all graduates need to attend a four year college to be employable. Several career options requiring merely a year or two of community college have been investigated. Several juniors have also completed the PSAT and all have completed in the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery administration. Soon career interests and aptitudes will be matched up for each student and further valuable career exploration will thus be concluded.
Juniors have been advised to study their individual ACT Test Prep booklets as they prepare for the April or June ACT test. The students have been encouraged to discover difficult concepts therein and take the issues to their classroom teachers for enrichment instruction.
Those juniors wishing to participate in college sports at the division I or II level, have been instructed to visit http://www.ncaaclearinghouse.net/ and complete the process of registration.
Finally class members have been told to use the following website to enhance their college and career exploration, http://www.ihaveaplaniowa.gov/.
