College and Career Pathways
It is never too early to take that first step and get on the right track. Century High School is committed to ensuring all students are college and career aware, eligible and prepared.
Becoming aware involves early exposure to colleges and careers, interest mapping, guidance lessons and the completion of national standardized tests. It also involves students and parents understanding the requirements for high school graduation as well as entrance requirements for technical or vocational schools, two-year community colleges, four-year public and private colleges, and even the military.
Becoming eligible involves students completing the necessary steps to engage in the post-secondary option of their choosing. This includes meeting the requirements of college entrance, developing a plan that details the steps needed to reach their future goal, planning for how to pay college tuition or support themselves with gainful employment, and applying to at least one post-secondary institution or job consistant with application requirements and deadlines.
Becoming prepared involves not only learning academic subjects, but also the development of “habits of mind” that lead to success in post-secondary learning or employment. Students will need to have foundational understanding in a wide array of disciplines, study and work habits necessary for school and workplace performance, and a pattern of life skills that will ensure readiness for independent living.

College and Career Pathway (CCP)
High school is an important part of a student’s preparation for life, a time of transitions to post-secondary education, careers and adult responsibilities. College and Career Pathways can help students to clarify their college and career goals and to select courses that match their goals. Exploratory level courses introduce basic concepts. Foundation classes provide a fundamental understanding of each area of study. Advanced Application courses provide an opportunity for students to extend their knowledge and pursue their individual interests.
