Post Secondary Planning

Strategic Plan:

A future for every student – A post-secondary plan for every student in a culture of high expectations: We want to stress the importance of every student having a postsecondary plan following graduation. That plan may include admission to a four-year college or university, community college, military, apprenticeships, career training or
other educational experiences. Recommendations will include expanded college, career and financial aid information for students and parents and graduation portfolios.

Goal:

Every student in the GUHSD will graduate with an Individual Graduation Plan (IGP) and a personalized Post-Secondary Plan (PSP) in place for their next level of education or vocational entrance point. Students will refine their plans each year utilizing a webbased career educational tool (COIN3) in conjunction with their guidance counselor,
school staff, and parent/guardian.

Systemic Change for GUHSD:

1. Students will receive the same services in regards to their IGP and PSP district wide.
2. Students will continually reflect upon and refine their IGP and PSP each year in conjunction with their parent/guardian, school staff, and the community.
3. Teachers will continue to build relevance for the IGP and PSP by intertwining standards-based lessons with real world applications.
4. The GUHSD will collect longitudinal post-secondary data in order to evaluate the initiative’s effectiveness.
