School Spotlight: Students Shape Schedules Around 10-Year Plans at Hoopeston Area High School

 

Not only do students at Hoopeston Area High School enter their freshman year already having learned about the importance of planning for their future in middle school, they use their 10-year plans to shape their schedules for the rest of their high school careers.

 
 

“I see a lot more students looking toward their future,” said Suzanne Lambert, a teacher at Hoopeston. “We have the Building a Bridge curriculum in middle school, so they come up talking about it a little more. A lot of them are starting to have a plan now when it comes to scheduling their classes.”

Resource of the Week: Why Students Are Skipping College

This new insightful study by the Gates Foundation explores all the reasons this number is declining, including the increase in tuition costs and the belief of some students that college isn’t worth the money.
