Post-secondary planning

In eighth grade, students take the Pre-ACT exam. This exam provides a baseline assessment for future ACT results. It also offers an effective tool for planning future high school coursework to prepare for post-secondary success.

In high school, students will have access to the Career and College Centers at each high school. The Career and College Center prepares each student for post-secondary success offers personalized post-secondary planning for college, career and technical training, employment and more.
