College & Career Readiness (CCR)
A new requirement for graduation starting the 2021-22 school year is that students have one credit in College & Career Readiness. This class helps students make the transition from high school to college, the military, and/or the workforce. Students learn how to fill out applications for scholarships, college, and jobs as well as how to create a resume and effectively participate in an interview. Financial aid is explored, and students are assisted in completing the FASFA as well as the Mississippi Aid application. Personal Finance is also a large component of the course. Students learn the essentials of money management to prepare them to be financially responsible. Students also explore various careers through research, interviews, and zoom meetings.
