Here are some ideas for parents and students to help them plan for high school:
| Work at developing good study habits. |
| Maintain good grades. |
| Start saving for college. |
| Talk to people who have attended college to learn about their experiences. |
| Start thinking about
which jobs interest you. What kinds of work would suit your interests, abilities, aptitudes, values and learning styles? |
| Get involved in extracurricular activities like clubs, student organizations, sports and volunteer work. |
| If you're given
opportunities to pursue academic subjects and extracurricular activities
that are new to you, take them! It will help you to expand your outlook. |
| Look into additional academic options that may be available in your area, such as magnet programs and school enrichment programs. |
| Check out summer programs available in your community. |
| Practice your time
management skills. Learning to make the most efficient use of your time can help prevent you from getting overwhelmed. |
| Improve your
reading, writing and math skills. These basic skills will serve you well in both college and career. |
