High School and Beyond

Aerial view of Springfield

The High School and Beyond is an SPS initiative to encourage students to get the most out of high school while preparing for their future. Students work with their school counselors and teachers starting in middle school to create their own personalized plan with goals for high school and beyond.

Postsecondary aspirations may include pathways for application to four-year colleges or universities, two-year community or technical colleges, apprenticeship programs, industry standard certificate programs, military training, or on-the-job training.
