It’s never too early to consider what’s next for you after High School…

Regardless of what you choose, it is important to remember that your grades are very important and what you do in high school MATTERS:

Colleges, trade schools, and scholarship committees

want your transcripts.

Military recruiters also want to see your grades/transcripts.

Employers want the references your teachers and counselors can provide.

Prepare for your future by using the resources that are available to you.

Naviance, counselors, and the KHS Career Center can help.
