Planning a four-year high school program is a serious undertaking. The selection of your
graduation plan is dependent on your interests and plans for future careers. Some questions to
consider when making your plans are the following:

- Will you continue your education at a university, college or in a trade or technical school?
- Do you want to learn academic or career skills in order to enter the full-time work force
immediately after high school?
- Are you interested in mathematics, science, technology, engineering, or an other
specialized field of study?
- Are you thinking of entering a profession that requires specialized education, such as
teaching, medicine, or law?
