Academic & Career Planning

What is an ACP?

ACP is a student-driven, ongoing process that actively engages students enabling them to:

• Understand their own interests, strengths, values, learning styles,
• Create a vision of their future,
• Develop individual goals, and
• Prepare a personal plan for achieving their vision and goals.

Why Academic and Career Planning Matters

Implementation of ACP at Marathon High School

All students in grades 9-12 are developing Academic and Career Plans guided by parents, teachers, and school counselors. This plan is a step-by-step process that leads students through a series of tasks that provide direction towards career decisions.
