WHS Guidance and Counseling Department Publication: Post-Secondary Planning Guide

It is a consolidation of information that can be used throughout high school during the post-secondary planning journey, including links to outside resources. Postsecondary Planning Guide as a translatable Google doc.
Have a great week!
