Planning in High School
You don't have to wait until senior year. Some decisions begin before high school.

Understand the decisions before high school starts.
Early College and P-TECH opportunities, endorsements, high school course planning, programs with early application timelines, and questions to take to your counselor.

Build a strong foundation without locking yourself into one future.
Graduation requirements, course sequences, interests, activities, early college credit opportunities, and how today's choices may affect later options.

Start connecting interests to possible pathways.
Explore careers, majors, credentials, college and technical pathways, dual credit, and what different options may require after high school.

Turn exploration into a plan.
Compare pathways, research programs and costs, prepare for applications and financial aid, review college credits already earned, and identify what needs to happen before senior year.

Apply, compare, decide, and complete the transition.
Applications, FAFSA or TASFA, scholarships, admissions and financial aid offers, enrollment requirements, transcripts, deadlines, and the final steps after graduation.
