Schools/Programs >> The Three Es >> Enrolled
Students exploring the Enrollment pathway are interested in continuing their education at a trade school, college or university. It is important to maintain good grades, establish good study habits and skills, and take challenging courses as early as middle school to prepare for higher education. Talking about college, researching college admission requirements, and visiting multiple campuses will give students a better understanding of what to expect. It is important to communicate with your guidance counselor and explore the courses that are relevant and rigorous that will coincide with their future plans, interests, and abilities.
