Vista Ridge High School

College/Career Planning Checklist

1. Challenge yourself academically. What you take is as important as the grade you make.

2. Develop good study habits and time management skills.

3. Talk to your counselor about how grade point averages and ranking affect your record and your opportunities for college and jobs.

4. Talk to adults in a variety of professions to determine what they like and dislike about their jobs, and what kind of education is needed for each job.

5. Get involved in community and school extracurricular activities. It is your right to share ownership of Vista Ridge High School. Colleges are very interested in your community service record. Visit your counselor to get a list of clubs and organizations. Get involved in organizations or activities outside of school.
