Grade Level Information

Each year our student's academic goals move forward towards their dream careers and post high school life. And each year our counseling department sits down with each class to set attainable goals appropriate for where each student is in their high school career.

Below are slides and documents shared with students about what to prepare for and ponder in the future.

The High School Years

Registration, orientation, and program adjustments occur during the early stages of each high school year. In grades 9 and 10, the students’ educational career plans are reviewed in individual conferences or in small groups with counselors. In the junior year, students are prepared for college testing or learn about vocational opportunities and requirements. As seniors, students are individually counseled to update their graduation status.

The Freshman Year

During the first year of high school, students make the transition from middle school and continue exploring career options. 9th graders:

  • review their Four-Year Academic Plan
  • set the foundation for current and future academic success
  • Californiacolleges.edu career planning assessments

The Sophomore Year

In the second year of high school, students and their parents focus on education and career plans. 10th graders:

  • update their Four-Year Academic Plan
  • take PSAT in October
  • Californiacolleges.edu career planning assessments

The Junior Year

Now with their career plan in progress, students are heading towards a career or college pathway after graduation. 11th graders:

  • update their Four-Year Academic Plan

  • take PSAT in October
  • participate in CAASPP testing in April and May

The Senior Year

The knowledge and experience gained throughout the high school years now enable the student to refine plans and get ready for action. 12th graders:
