Career clusters are now integrated into each high school student’s graduation plan. Starting at the end of 8 grade,
th
students will use their career education and work standards learning experiences, previous courses of study, and outside
interests to begin identifying possible career clusters to help guide them through the program of studies. School
counselors and teachers will then continue this conversation with students and families throughout their high school
careers to refine the cluster choices as students experience our program of studies and other co- and extra-curricular
interests.
