Resources to empower
Students’ final year of their K-12 education relies heavily on completing coursework and earning the required credits to receive a high school diploma. In addition, these young adults are preparing for the next step of their future whether that be entering college, a technical program or the workforce. Twelfth grade students should graduate from high school college and career ready. College and career readiness refers to the content knowledge, skills, and habits that students must possess to be successful in postsecondary education or training that leads to a sustaining career. They also have increasing self-awareness and identity, while building social problem-solving skills and focusing on the future.
