THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO ACHIEVE YOUR CAREER or LIFE GOAL
**Please make an appointment with your counselor each year to go over all of your options.
We would like to ask you to start thinking of your time in high school as a free jumpstart on your career choice and NOT as something you have to finish first and then start to figure out a career path or life plan. There are many career focused opportunities, scholarships, programs, etc. that are free and are only offered to current high school students, incoming freshmen in the first fall semester after graduating, or other qualifiers meant to be completed during high school. Talking with your school counselor and spending time in KUDOR, our free career focused online program, will help you to identify steps needed to be successful and a timeline for completing them in order to confidently start your life after high school. We truly want you to be ready and able to follow the pathway you have carved out in order to live your best life. All ARCA staff members sincerely want help support and guide you; however, we need you reach out and let us know what you are needing to make that happen.
