    • Understand the importance of work and how performance, effort and decisions directly affect future career and educational opportunities.
    To meet these goals all students will:
    1. Complete 30 hours of community outreach during their high school experience.
    2. During the freshman year students will, with instruction:
       a. Complete a career interest inventory to identify their strengths and weaknesses as related to their personal career goals.
       b. Create a High School and Beyond Plan.
       c. Create a résumé.
    3. Students will be led through a review of their High School and Beyond Plan on a yearly basis.
    4. During the senior year, students will participate in a Senior Culminating Project Exit Interview before a panel consisting of a teacher, a community member and a student advocate. The process shall include:
       a. Submission of an up-to-date résumé.
       b. Submission of documentation of 30 hours of community outreach.
       c. Two part exit interview:
          i. Student led section where the student shares their high school experiences as they relate to their High School and Beyond Plan.
          ii. A panel led question and answer section where the student is asked pre-identified questions.
