Counselors meet with every student on their caseload in either the 9th or 10th grade to discuss the student's interests and post-secondary goals and complete a 4-year plan.

The purpose of the 4-year plan meeting is to develop a sequence of courses that meets the student's after-high-school goals. During the meeting, the counselor and student choose high school courses that will further develop the student's interests as well as meet high school graduation and college entrance requirements. Honors and Advanced Placement courses, college courses, and elective choices are also discussed.

If the student is interested in attending a 4-year college directly after high school, the counselor will provide information about this process. Counselors are a tremendous resource for college and career planning.
