Making the High School Years Pay Off
These are stories of how students are exploring personal, college and career interests; how they are finding a class they love; and how they are using exploratory tools like the ePEP (their Electronic Personal Education Planner) and Florida's websites: FACTS.org and Florida CHOICES. In addition, we will hear how students are taking advantage of their counselors and career courses to transform high school into four years of exploration, enjoyment and progress towards the life they want to live.
