Career

QUESTION- I'm only in middle school, isn't it a little too early to be thinking about careers?

ANSWER: NO! It is not too early to start thinking, planning, and goal setting for the future. In fact, we're more likely to achieve our dreams, if we have a solid plan on how to get there. 

All middle school students will develop a career education portfolio throughout 5th-8th grades. Each school year, students will add artifacts as outlined by the PA Career Education and Work Standards.
