The academic journey through high school can be confusing and difficult to manage without guidance. Thankfully, all PUHSD sites have Guidance Counselors and College/Career Specialists that are there to help students navigate the map of options of heading to college and/or being ready for a career. PUHSD has incredible opportunities for our students and they are encouraged to look at course catalogues to get an idea of options available to them. College/Career Specialists arrange for college visits to learn about universities throughout the nation, as well as visits by our Military branches. Many classes afford students the ability to earn dual credit for high school AND college at the same time! CTE Pathway courses help students begin their education towards a career and align with many of our local community colleges. Welding is an example of a course where students can obtain their certificate to be career ready upon graduation from high school. There is a lot learn, plan for, do and manage in preparing for life after high school. Please keep an eye on your site's Counseling website pages that are very informative, monitor the guidance by grade-level information, go to the university visits on campus, or talk to a CTE teacher about opportunities.
The following pages offer some additional information about these opportunities.
