LETTER FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT
Greetings Stakeholders,
As Superintendent of DeKalb County Schools, it is my pleasure to announce the Post-Secondary P.U.S.H Plan, which is a plan that will prepare, uplift, and holistically support each one of our high school scholars in their quest to graduate and to become productive citizens.
With this year’s implementation of the Post-Secondary P.U.S.H. Plan, our team of educators, leaders, and support personnel will invest great effort and energy toward the goal of ensuring our scholars graduate from high school with a plan for what’s next beyond high school.
During the 2024-2025 school year, the primary focus of the Post-Secondary P.U.S.H. Plan will include college and career exploratory opportunities for all high school scholars. For Seniors, holistic advisement and support will be provided so that upon graduation, our scholars will walk across the stage with both a diploma and an individualized plan for their next step. It is our goal to support 100% of our Seniors in their quest to have a path forward when they graduate from the DeKalb County School District.
This implementation manual outlines the steps for supporting and assisting our scholars with determining their post-secondary path. It contains standard operating procedures and access to resources for assisting our scholars along their journey. We are certain this effort will not only assist our scholars and families, but also, our overall community.
Thank you in advance for your support and commitment to excellence.
Sincerely,
Dr. Devon Q. Horton, Superintendent DeKalb County School District

PREPARE ACADEMICALLY 1
Individual Graduation Plan: Grade 8, Updated Grade 9-11
As scholars prepare to enter high school as freshmen, it's important for them to have support and guidance for a smooth transition. Each scholar will have an individualized Graduation Plan developed in 8th grade with their parents or guardians. This plan will outline academic and personal goals and be reviewed annually to make adjustments as needed.
Freshman On Track Status
As students transition from middle school to high school, the school will closely monitor the academic progress of freshmen. Data from the Infinite Campus system will help identify students "on track" (passing at least three core academic classes and three elective courses) and those falling behind. Credit recovery options such as specialized courses, tutoring, and interventions will be available for students not meeting academic benchmarks. This proactive approach aims to empower all freshmen to achieve academic success in high school.
Credit Recovery and Virtual Learning Options (Grades 9-12)
Scholars shall be supported as they adjust to the academic rigor of high school. If a student is not on track, they will be afforded the opportunity for credit recovery, virtual learning options, or retake the course. Credit recovery or virtual learning will continue to be offered throughout a scholar's tenure during high school.
Sophomore Half-Cap Ceremony
Scholars shall be rewarded by walking across the stage during a “Half-Cap Ceremony” if they are staying on track for graduation during their sophomore year (i.e. passing three additional core and three electives). Completion of required career assessments will be included as a requirement for participation.
UPLIFT CAREER INTEREST 2
Naviance Career Cluster Finder Assessment - Grade 8 and 10
Scholars shall be administered the Naviance Career Cluster Finder Assessment to discover potential career matches based on their interests, personal qualities, and school subjects they enjoy. This data will be used for career advisement as the student determines their career and post-secondary plan.
Naviance Achieve Works Skills Assessment
Scholars shall be administered the Naviance Achieve Works Skills Assessment to help further identify and develop their skills to connect with additional careers of interest. This assessment helps scholars explore various career options base on their evolving skills and interests. Scholars shall receive advisement upon completion of the assessment.
Naviance Career Key Assessment
Scholars shall be administered the Naviance Career Key Assessment to discover their traits, best match work environments, and related careers. By understanding their personality, strengths, and work settings preferred, additional decisions will be made relative to their post-secondary path and individual graduation plan. Scholars will receive advisement upon completion of the assessment.
Naviance Pathway Selection - Grade 8, Updated Grades 9-11
Based upon the results of career assessments and after appropriate advisement, students will select one or more of the following four post-secondary paths: Enrollment, Enlistment, Employment, or Entrepreneurship. Support for applying or extending learning will be provided.
SUPPORT SAT/ACT/ ASVAB TESTING 3

When scholars express that they would like to enlist into the military, support will be given to do so. By applying and taking the ASVAB assessment and connecting the student with recruiters for the selected branch of the military, scholars will receive the necessary support to enlist.
Scholars who seek to enroll in college and the military will be provided information regarding college/university ROTC programs and guided through the process to enroll.

Internship or Apprenticeship Applications
Scholars who would like to pursue their own business may apply to various internship and/or apprenticeship opportunities prior to graduation through work-based learning if they have selected a career pathway through CTAE (Career, Technical, Agricultural Education) courses.

Business Certification Program Enrollment Options
A business certificate is a credential earned through a college or university. These certificates require college-level coursework in a focused area of study, but they do not lead to full business degrees. Business certificates available include entrepreneurship and innovation and often the credits may later be applied toward a degree. (Forbes Advisor, 2023). To enroll in a business certification program, scholars must apply to the college or university or online agency.
