What is the Life Planning (Mentoring)/Family Matters class all about?

        Each year thousands of graduating seniors enter the world of work without really feeling sure about the direction they have chose for a career.  DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU!!!  The Life Planning(Mentoring)/Family Matters class will prepare you to deal with family responsibilities as well as allow you to explore career options from the actual work site.  Mentorships provide an opportunity for you to interact with individuals in your area of interest.  This year the class meets first semester during C-Block.  For 6 weeks, Tuesday through Friday, you are permitted to leave the school campus at 10:45-12:56 to explore a career of your choice by working with a mentor in the community.  This may be the perfect opportunity to "seal the deal" on your career choice.  See Mrs. Strait for further details or ask the following mentoring students:
