The Sophomore guide to graduating high school college and career ready! Download a PDF version of this guide.


Strive for academic success! Remember that the higher your grades, the more options you have when you apply for colleges and scholarships.
Review PLAN results with counselor or postsecondary education staff (e.g., college & career coach, teachers).
Develop a postsecondary portfolio on WNI which includes your academic achievements, resume, research on colleges and careers, scholarships you might be eligible for, certificates of participation/achievement, recommendation letters, and listings of your participation in clubs and extracurricular activities.
Don’t forget that you need a minimum of 20 service-learning hours completed by the end of sophomore year. You can accumulate these through participation in community service activities.
Attend college fairs and campus visits. Review college admissions requirements against your current course load. Adjust your high school educational plan as needed.
Begin conducting scholarship searches.
Meet with your counselor to confirm you are on track for graduation. Plan your junior year. Take the most challenging options available to you (AP, honors, IB, virtual High School).
Apply for summer educational/vocational programs. Always try to relate your work/learning experiences to your postsecondary goals, and begin creating a resume.

The Dual Enrollment program allows students the opportunity to earn college credits, while attending high school.
