SPPS' Personal Learning Plans and Career Pathways!
Planning for the Future
SPPS students benefit from our strong school counseling program, the creation of personal learning plans (PLPs), a wide array of post-secondary partnerships and invaluable opportunities allowing them to explore career and technical education.
SPPS Career Pathways
Each comprehensive high school will offer four Career Fields with at least one Career Pathway for each field. Career Fields allow students to gain foundational career knowledge and skills.
School Counseling
School Counselors are uniquely qualified to address all students’ academic, career and social/emotional development needs.
Personal Learning Plans
Personal Learning Plans help students document their interests, strengths, & values and connect those to course taking plans, career development activities, and career and postsecondary education aspirations.
