Counselors can assist you in planning your educational goals. We check your options to learn which Continuing Education program is right for you. Are you ready to take classes but not sure how to begin? Our counseling team will work with you! Develop an educational plan to take classes and reach your goals.

This plan outlines the courses and assessments you need to take to reach a specific goal each semester.

Who should get an educational plan?
This plan is beneficial to every student that has academic goals. Students in all of our programs (English, High School, College Prep, Career Education, etc.) can benefit from an educational plan.

What do I need when I speak with a counselor?
You don't need to bring anything to meet with a counselor. However, if you plan to enter our High School Diploma Program, bring your transcripts. Previous High School transcripts will help to develop the best plan. You can order official transcripts through Parchment: http://exchange.parchment.com/
