Pathway: Engineering
Plan of Study: Go to college for four years or more while in the military.
Career Goal: Become an Environmental Enginee
1. An opportunity for students to set a main goal for the future.
2. A way for students to break down their goals year by year, class by class.
3. A chance to have a better understanding of which courses will be offered each year and which ones should be taken to reach goals.
• Sometimes course offerings differ depending on the year
4. A clearer picture of what is needed beyond high school
• This allows students to get started early on.
Why plan ahead?
If you have a roadmap of where you want to go, you will have a better chance of
reaching your destination...
First Step: What Interests You?Choose the direction do you want to head in:
• Find a career pathway that fits with your interest inventory.
• Remember: Making a career choice now doesn’t mean you won’t be able to change your mind later.
• Keep in Mind: Students who have a purpose tend to stay focused and have better grades.
• Narrow down your choices: This allows you to tailor your schedule to include things that interest you, which can make classes more enjoyable for you!
• If you don’t know, use the process of elimination to gain focus – choose a wide variety of electives to explore your interests.
Next Step: Choose Core Classes
Language Arts:• 4 credits needed – in other
words, 4 year’s worth of Language Arts
• English 9 and English 10 (both semesters) are required
Social Studies:• 3 credits needs – which
means 3 years worth of Social Studies classes
• U.S. History of Modern American, U.S. History of a Nation, and U.S. Government are required
Core Classes Continued…
Math• 3 credits of “Math” classes are
required to graduate• 4 credits are recommended for
the Higher Education Admission Requirements (HEAR) for college
Science• 3 Science credits are required to
graduate• Some science classes, such as
Physics, are “math-based” • Although Earth Science is
generally assigned to all students, this is not a lab-based science, which may be worth researching depending on your college choice
What are my choices?
Remember:
• You will need .50 credits of Health and 1.0 of PE classes.
• Classes have prerequisites:
• Students must take Catering before they can take Prostart
• Advanced Weights can only be taken AFTER regular Weights
• Marketing and Your Future is for 10th and up.
Choices: Continued…
• Things to consider:
• At least two years of the same Foreign Language is recommended
• Any Academy of Engineering and Yearbook courses require an application
• Students must take Drawing before they can take Painting
• Spanish Heritage requires a written assessment
• JROTC requires an application • Any AP courses or JROTC will
require special permission to drop or change – often these also require a parent meeting
You have the power to guide your own future…
Take Action!
