Sophomores

During Sophomore year students should continue to focus on learning and exploring by taking challenging courses, learning how to work in different settings and within a group, and to develop self-advocacy and communication skills. Additionally, take time to pursue your interests and to explore various career pathways. Get involved in your school or greater community as these experiences allow you to know your likes and dislikes, which is an important factor in decision making.

We do offer some Postsecondary programming specifically targeted to sophomores during second semester. This programming provides some guidance on things such as course selection for junior year, considerations for the following summer and and planning for standardized testing during junior year. 

Please review the College Planning page and College Resource page to help you with your search, selection, and application process. The College Planning Handbook is a thorough guide with great details and an explanation on many of the nuances regarding the college planning process.  MaiaLearning is the main online resource we utilize in our program that will provide specific admissions, career and college admission data relative to Highland Park High School. Please speak with your School Counselor at any time with questions or concerns regarding postsecondary options and know that we work closely as a team.  We also want you to know that you can always stop by the CRC with a quick question for Mr. Becker.
