Top Gwinnett counselor gives tips for successful high school careers By Trevor McNaboe

ach year, more than 12,000 students from Gwinnett County Public Schools will take a leap into the next level of their academic and professional careers by graduating. Each student’s educational path is different, and while graduation and college can seem like a far-off dream, GCPS Director of Advisement and Counseling Tinisha Parker said students should start planning for graduation as early as their freshman year. The following is a year-by-year plan what Parker said will help put students in the best position to pursue their college dreams. Freshman year “The first thing I would tell a freshman would be to take this first-year experience very seriously,” Parker said. “A lot of students aren’t used to the freedom that occurs at the high school level. This is truly a step in preparation for graduation.” A key thing she advises students to be aware of is how many credits it will take to graduate in four years. “Usually students are

getting that information in eighth grade and hopefully they’ve been listening,” Parker said. “They need a total of 23 credits, but it isn’t just any 23 credits.” Parker said the 23 credits are a culmination of
completed math, science, social studies and language arts courses, as well as electives. “Students need to be aware of all academic supports that are around, such as study sessions, study groups or tutoring,” Parker said. “We want students to become fully engaged in their high school experience.” A full high school experience in the eyes of GCPS goes beyond just the classroom and involves students immersing themselves in extracurricular activities such as sports or school clubs. “Students that are more engaged tend to have better grades,” Parker said. “If students participate in things outside of the classroom, they get the opportunity to gain experiences they might not have had the chance to get just from school alone.” With the rise of career pathways in the Gwinnett school district, students also have the opportunity to use

electives to get ahead in professional job training. “Don’t take ninth grade lightly; be very serious and strategic about it,” Parker
said. “At the same time, plug into the school and try to enjoy it.” Sophomore year Transitioning from a freshman to a sophomore is a year that Parker describes as a

Beyond graduation
Gwinnett Career and Tech Education program aims to give students skills outside of classroom
By Trevor McNaboe trevor.mcnaboe @gwinnettdailypost.com
Traditionally, students attending Gwinnett County Public Schools have had options such as dual enrollment and Advanced Placement classes to help them get ahead in their academic courses. However, there is a third option, one that allows students to get experience in a job field while still getting course credit. That option is choosing one of the pathways in the school district’s Career and Technical Education program. “We have increased significantly our involvement in CTE programs here in the last four years,” said Jody Reeves, GCPS executive director of academies and career and technical education. “The number of CTE students we serve is more than 70 percent of the counties combined in the state of Georgia. We have a significant student population that takes advantage of CTE.”

Schools such as Shiloh High School have partnered with CVS to form a mock pharmacy, allowing students to get experience as a pharmacy technician and also train to get certification. “This allows students to earn credentials and certifications

that will help them be employed when they graduate,” Reeves said. “We believe that all students need some type of postsecondary education beyond high school.” Not only have schools started opening up specialized acad-
emies, but the school district is also building specialized schools such as the Paul Duke STEM School in Norcross, set to open this fall, and a yet-to-be-named school in the Meadowcreek district that will place an emphasis on health care science, scheduled
to open in August 2019. “In addition, we’re going to see an increase in our computer science offerings,” Reeves said. “We’re going to see an increase in our engineering offerings. We base what we do around the target sectors that are provided.” Partnership Gwinnett, a public-private initiative formed in 2007, has a goal of bringing new businesses and jobs to the county. As one of Partnership Gwinnett’s investors, GCPS has been able to modify its CTE program to give students the opportunity to gain experience for local jobs. “We know that’s where we need to be developing a pipeline for the companies that are here in Gwinnett,” Reeves said. “We want our students to go off to college and then be able to come back and work here.” Partnerships with companies such as Gwinnett Medical Center, Brand Bank, the Aurora Theater See skills, Page 2C

and Viasat have allowed the school system to give students a leg up in a field of their interest. “Sometimes these partnerships can take a long time to develop and sometimes they can be very quick,” Reeves said. “It just depends on the readiness of the partner and the readiness of the school.” The Shiloh mock pharmacy took more than two years to complete from first proposal to the finished result. On the other hand, Reeves said, a partnership with Eastside Hospital was recently struck and students are already visiting the site. An emphasis of the CTE program is encouraging students to explore what they want to do while they are in high school. More than a third of students in the Gwinnett school district participate in the program. “We’re seeing students being engaged in school. We’re seeing students (who), because of CTE, have a higher graduation rate, and we’re seeing a decrease in discipline incidents at schools with large CTE programs,” Reeves said. In the past, CTE programs were viewed as a vocational route that could be taken by students that did not plan on attending college, but Reeves said now the county believes all students should have some courses in the CTE program. “The last recession should have taught us a lot,” Reeves said. “Gwinnett Technical College was filled with students with bachelor’s degrees but didn’t have the skills. So they were there trying to develop skills that would make them more employable.” Across the schools in the

district there are a different number of pathways offered to its students. Next year at Paul Duke STEM, students will be have the chance to take different pathways with a key emphasis on technology. One example of a pathway that will be offered is cybersecurity, which falls under the information technology pathway. Reeves said as a freshman, students will use one of their electives to enroll in the introduction to digital technology course. For the entire academic year, students will learn of the effect digital technology has on their personal lives, society and the business world. Upon completion, students will move to introduction to cybersecurity followed by advanced cybersecurity. By the students senior year, they will have a capstone project or internship they will do. Having schools that allow students to get job experience without having to leave campus is very important to the school district. “A lot of our students don’t have the ability to drive a car or take an Uber to a job site,” Reeves said. “By developing school-based enterprises, we’re allowing students to develop the skills they need without limiting their opportunities.” With the population approaching 1 million in Gwinnett County, competition in the job market is fierce. “Completing a pathway and getting a certification is one way that we help our students get a better opportunity at entering into their job field,” Reeves said. “It might be an entry-level position, but it gives them an opportunity.”

•From Page 1C the Gateway is a 10thgrade assessment that is required for graduation.” The Gateway test is a writing assessment that measures students’ knowledge and skills related to areas such as world history, biology, chemistry and language arts. The test has been a measurement the school district has used since 2001. In addition to preparing for testing, students are encouraged to begin looking into dual enrollment classes and looking for career experiences. “We’re talking about taking more rigorous coursework beyond that of the high school level,” Parker said. “It’s a great opportunity to get both high school and college course credit at the same time.” The early research and participation in Advanced Placement courses, as well as dual enrollment, is an avenue to allow students to get to their profession at a faster rate. “Tenth grade is a great year for career exploration and trying to figure out what aptitudes you have to direct you in a certain way,” Parker said. “Really being open to your options and what is available starts now, even though you have a few years left.” Junior year “Junior year is a culmination of excitement, and there’s a lot going on,” Parker said. “The rigor of courses are much more significant. You’re really getting into the throes of AP classes and dual enrollment if you choose.” Not only are students

completing the back-half of their credit requirement, they also are advised to begin taking both the SAT and ACT tests and seek out experiences. “Students should start to look for internships or a work-study program,” Parker said. “Getting on-the-job training and experience is something that can’t be substituted.” Parker said one of the easiest ways to start getting professional experience is through networking. “You can start networking at any time, but during your junior year it is critical to start making meaningful relationships,” Parker said. “You want to also build relationships with your teachers because these are the people that will be writing recommendation letters for you.” At the same time, college visits and starting to narrow down the schools that you are looking for are both important. “You’re already starting to prepare to leave by looking at different colleges and institutions to see what is a good fit for you,” Parker said. “But
throughout ninth through 12th grade, you still have to continue to stay focused on your school work.” Senior year When senior year finally rolls around, senioritis can take hold with graduation being so close. But Parker said students need to be careful about thinking things are finished before they really are. Before receiving a high school diploma, there are a few more things to accomplish, she said. “You’re going to start applying for scholarships and should have taken the SAT and ACT already by your fall semester,” Parker said. “You should also have a good idea of where you want to go. The list of schools should be narrowed down to two or three schools.” One of the reasons she said to have a narrowed down list is to submit essays, letters of recommendation and transcripts before college application deadlines arrive. “Make sure you give people that you want to write letters of recommendation ample time to do so,” Parker said.
“You don’t want to notify them on Wednesday if the application is due on Friday. A good rule of thumb is to request it at least two weeks prior to the application being due as a courtesy.” Involvement in clubs is important, however. Parker said that as you become an upperclassman, it is important to start obtaining leadership roles in extracurricular activities. “If you’re in a club, look for a leadership role,” Parker said. “We need a lot of strong leaders in our world today. Showing you’ve started that process at a young age will help you stand out from other students.” While in high school, there is a sort of blueprint or road map to graduation, there isn’t one for the next step. Some will enroll in two- or fouryear colleges, while others will opt to join the workforce out of high school. “Don’t be afraid,” Parker said. “It’s a step that everyone has to take. We want you graduated and moving on to your next step.”

Dacula student McClain Hermes honored for her volunteer work
Seventeen-year-old McClain Hermes is known for her swimming prowess, having represented Team USA in the 2016 Paralympic games in Rio de Janiero. But the Gwinnett Online Campus student has also been busy spending her time helping others through volunteer work. The Dacula resident was recently awarded a Certificate of Excellence from the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards and a President’s Volunteer Service Award for her volunteer work. The Prudential Spirit of McClain Community Hermes Awards honor young people for outstanding volunteer service. Certificates of Excellence are granted to the top 10 percent of all Prudential Spirit of Community Award applicants in each state. Applicants are selected by several criteria including initiative, effort, impact and personal growth. Hermes, who is completely blind in one eye and has severely limited vision in the other, was honored for her work with Shoes for the Souls, a nonprofit organization she started, donates new and slightly used shoes to a local homeless shelter. She started the “small service project” nine years ago, when she was just 8, and has now collected and donated more than 21,000 pairs of shoes to The Atlanta Mission.

Good News from Schools
What are the actual greatest threats to our young people? More than two weeks after the latest school shooting, emotions are still running high. A lot of people probably need to take a step back and chill — myself included. Criminology professor James Fox of Northwestern University offered some perspective recently in USA Today: “Over the past quarter-century, on average about 10 students are slain in school shootings annually. Compare (that) with the more than 100 school-age children accidentally killed each year walking or riding their bikes to school.” More to the point, school shootings pale in comparison to the opioid epidemic, which claimed the lives of more than 64,000 Americans in 2016 alone, including thousands of teenagers. Heroin use is increasing across the country, and Georgia is no exception. In the past few years, hundreds of metro-area young people have died of heroin overdoses. Alcohol, too, claims many more young lives than school shootings. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2016, more than 1,000 people under the age of 21 died in accidents caused by drunk drivers. Thankfully, that number has been falling in recent years, but it’s still far too high. And then there is suicide, which recently replaced homicide as the second-leading cause of death among teenagers and young adults. (No. 1 is accidents.) The Center for Disease Control reports that in 2015, more than 6,000 individuals between the age of 10 and 24 committed suicide. And that number, sadly, seems to be on the rise. School shootings frighten and infuriate us, as well they should. They violate our most basic social contract, injecting terror into an environment that ought to be safe and welcoming. They also involve children, triggering our instinctive desire as parents to protect our young. Thankfully, there are commonsense steps that will greatly reduce the number of these incidents,
Rob Jenkins like enforcing existing gun laws, becoming more vigilant and taking warning signs seriously — all things that the authorities in Broward Country, apparently, failed to do. In addition, the Parkland case shows that we need to update and modernize our system of background checks, fostering more cooperation and sharing of information among state, local and federal government agencies. We also need to repeal the 1990s federal law making schools “gunfree zones” and allow qualified, trained adults on campus to carry weapons. I realize that’s controversial, but I can’t think of any other single step that will do more, immediately, to save lives. What we don’t need to do is shred the Constitution. Nor do we need to break the bank to “fix” this one problem that, statistically, represents a drop in the bucket compared to other challenges we face. I’ll close with this: 80 percent of the heroin in this country is brought in from Mexico. Greatly reducing that flow would do far more to save young lives than any new gun law. Why are the very people clamoring for “gun control” so adamantly opposed to tightening border security? Rob Jenkins is a local freelance writer and college professor. He is the author of four books, including “Family Man: The Art of Surviving Domestic Tranquility,” available at Books for Less in Buford and on Amazon. The views expressed here are his own.
