Careers you never knew existed!-Fun Works
Who are you?
First Resume
Drive of your life
Welcome to the Career Pathways and Success Skills page!
This course focuses on exploring career
options while utilizing college and career
resources such as the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Naviance, and Financial Aid. Students examine personal strengths and determine how these strengths are valuable in post secondary education and the work force.
Students also develop written and oral
communication skills as well as technological
skills!
igh school may very well be one of the busiest times in your life. Whether its sports or music practice, student
government or homework, life can pull you in a lot of different
directions. Who has time to think about
what to do next after high school?
What do you want to do with the rest of your life?
Talk about overwhelming!
As you get started, remember what you decide now will probably be just a
starting point. It’s estimated that most
people switch careers six to eight times over their lifetimes. So don’t sweat it; think of your future as
the “Big Picture.” You don’t have to be
100% sure about what you want to be doing 20 years down the road.
The most important step in choosing a potential career path is doing what
feels right for you! Remember, the path
that other people take may not lead YOU in the right direction.
Whether you decide to get a job right after high school or attend a
four-year college, set a goal and then figure out what you need to do to get
there.
If you love to cook and want to be a chef or open your own restaurant,
you know you’re going to need a college degree.
If you love helping people or enjoy working on cars and want to work in
health care or be an auto mechanic, there are several way to get training.
Take the first step, start early and believe in yourself!

Academic Integrity
Cheating is academic dishonesty, and it is a major
violation of academic integrity. Copying other students' assignments,
allowing other students to use your work, looking at class notes or other
students’ papers during a quiz or test are all examples of cheating. Cheating is never a viable solution to
academic problems.
Rather than resort to cheating, students are encouraged
to seek individual assistance from the instructor. Staying after school
can be a valuable way to receive one-on-one attention from the
instructor. Students have many more options besides compromising their
academic integrity by cheating.
It
is within this context that the following policies are established:
ü
The
first time a student is caught cheating: the student will be given a zero on
the assignment with the opportunity to redo the task within the next 72
hours. The two grades will be averaged
together to compute the final grade.
ü
If the
infraction occurs again, the student will receive a zero on the assignment
without the opportunity to redo it. In
addition, a phone call will be made home and guidance personnel will be
notified.
Attendance/Tardy Policy and Disruptive Behavior
Board
policy will be followed.
Homework
