Students

Think of each grade as a bridge to the next.

Creating a personal road map or plan will guide you on your path through middle and high school and help you decide on how to get to college and choose a career. There are bound to be twists, turns, and detours along the way, but following your map will keep you on track for the future you choose.

As you think about high school, keep in mind:

  • The things you learn in middle school help you prepare for high school.
  • High school helps you prepare for college.
  • College prepares you for life!
