Future Planning, often called Post-Secondary Planning or College and Career Planning, consists of programming and activities in which students will be working closely with the counselors to help them navigate their individual journey. Through the Naviance platform, as well as a variety of other resources, all students will participate in activities designed to reinforce goal setting, exploring post-secondary options and planning for the future over the course of their high school experience. Students will also have the opportunity to build a portfolio as required through PA Career Education and Work Standards.
