Post Graduation Planning

Planning for after high school ensures that students are engaged and graduate ready for success in postsecondary and the workforce

As you develop your Individual Career and Academic Plan (ICAP), it is important to think about the best pathway for you.  Your ICAP allows you the opportunity to research and ask questions about different postsecondary options. Naviance can help support your research and exploration.
