PERSONAL LEARNING PLAN
Every student has a Personal Learning Plan (PLP). The PLP is a 4 year plan created by the Counselor and student, documenting a student's progress towards graduation and career/college goals after graduation. Required and completed classes/credits are listed. See your Counselor for a copy of your PLP.
DUAL CREDITS
Dual credits are credits that count for high school credits and college credits at the same time. Dual credits are available for Juniors and Seniors. The link below lists the requirements and classes accepted for dual credit. Talk to your Counselor if interested in taking dual credit classes.
