Career Center


At SSHS, there is a career center staffed by a career counselor who will work with students and their parents in developing a career and academic plan (CAP).

A brief interest inventory can point to one of six career interest areas and possibly a pathway within that interest area. Results from the student's sophomore PLAN test are also considered. The CHOICES program may also be used.

Several careers opportunities within those pathways can be explored and looking at the necessary training and / or education levels needed to achieve the student's goal. If a work internship or job shadowing situation is wanted, she will help place the student.

Then the counselor will help the student narrow down the choices before an actual application is made. Advice on resumes, applications, essays are also available.
