As the new year begins, students are faced with many forthcoming changes. Specifically, our students in Freshmen Academy are challenged to make decisions about which career-academy and the career pathway courses they will pursue. This decision-making process is supported in many, layered ways throughout the year. Freshmen Academy students learn about these through the curriculum in their Freshmen Seminar class, through student ambassador presentations in their classroom, and through a career-academy showcase from their peers. At the showcase, upperclassmen representing each academy and pathway present on the activities, aligned-careers, and experiences they’ve had associated with their academy and pathway. This unfiltered interaction gives the freshmen an honest evaluation from a respected source, which will help them to make an informed decision on which they will pursue.
