High School & Beyond Plan

Overview

In alignment with the Puyallup School District's philosophy and Washington State's graduation requirements, the High School & Beyond Plan challenges students to apply their classroom education in demonstrating their college and career readiness for life after high school through the completion of a multi-year educational and post high plan, professional resume, community experience and senior conference.

• The community experience will include a 20-hour active, community-based learning or service experience. Students should plan to have their hours completed and documented by January 31^st of their senior year.

Students earning the Puyallup School District Varsity Letter in Community Service may use this to fulfill this graduation requirement.

• The high school & beyond plan and professional resume will prepare students for successful transition to post-high opportunities and documents their work, knowledge, skills, and experiences accrued in grades 7-12.

• The senior conference will provide opportunity for students to share their educational and career goals, high school graduation requirements and connections to the community through community experience and current professional resume.

Students will complete these components for the graduation requirements by building their personal digital portfolio using Xello; a college and career readiness program that will help students better understand themselves, their future career options, and the 21^st century skills they will need to succeed.
