Post-Secondary Planning
EPHS College and Career Programming
Eden Prairie High School provides a robust college and career readiness curriculum for students with activities focused on each grade level. We subscribe to Naviance Family Connection, a web-based tool that allows our students to learn about themselves and find their right, post-secondary fit. Each student sets a personal and academic goal that is specific, measurable, timely and attainable.
These personal and academic goals are set each term and have meaning to the student and an action plan to help them obtain the goal. All students will receive instruction and guidance on their registration process. Students will refer to previous Naviance activities stored in their account to individualize their upcoming registration. Students will use their course planner in Naviance to continue to build their four-year plan.
