High School Planning Guide
Table of Contents
Overseeing the education of a student is an important task that should not be taken lightly at any stage. The high school years are the ones that will follow a person throughout his or her life. Few colleges will ever know what your grades in the 6th grade were, but all colleges you may want to attend, and most employers will know about Algebra I in the 9th grade.
These words are not intended to strike fear in the hearts of parents or students but to emphasize the necessity to:
1) Understand the requirements,
2) Develop a plan,
3) Review that plan yearly, and
4) Execute that plan with rigor.
