HSBP Schoolinks Tasks for Grade 9

• Find Your Path
• Would you Rather
• Goal Setting

____________________________________________________________________________

The High School and Beyond Plan (HSBP) is a state graduation requirement designed to support your career and college exploration throughout middle and high school.  The HSBP helps connect career interests with your classes, and your classes with career training or college majors, helping you identify the steps needed to reach your postsecondary goals.

Students start the plan in 7th grade by taking a career and interest/skill inventory and using the results to inform their 8th grade class choices. HSBPs are revised each year (7th-12th grade) to align with changing interests and educational or career goals.

The High School and Beyond Plan is really a way for you to explore who you are, who you want to become, and how you can get there;  the intent is to empower all students to prepare for and achieve their career and college dreams.  

This year we are moving to a new platform – Schoolinks -  to catalog your efforts and house your work in the HSBP, providing a consistent way for students to explore how your interests and skills fit different careers, set educational and career goals, determine classes to prepare for the future, even apply to college (not right away, but in the future).
