High School - Guidance Office Information/Exploration

Even though high school graduation is years away, it’s not too early to start thinking about what you want to do after high school. We realize you have big decisions to make and we want to help you begin to make plans for the future. The first step in career planning is getting to know you:

What do you like?

What are your interests and skills?

Do you like the outdoors?

Is math your favorite subject?

Do you like to draw?

Do you enjoy spending time with people?

Are you the president of a club?

Are you organized?

We will help you to match your interests and skills with similar career options.

Explore what you like to do.

Match your interests with career options.

Ask your school counselor or teacher for information about your career interests, and what you can do now to prepare for a college or a vocational program.
