The guidance department encourages each student to begin establishing career goals upon entry to high school. Students are given career interest surveys and have access to career information through the Internet at school or home. Career help is available from Darla Crone, 765-342-5571 ext. 4047. Once a student decides on a career objective, various websites can direct him/her to schools nationwide appropriate to that career objective. Parents are encouraged to be a part of this process.
