CAREER PLANNING for Sophomores

All sophomores will take the ASVAB on November 11th at 11:30am.  This is the 1st step in a 3 step comprehensive program for career exploration.  There are great career exploration materials paired with this program.  Later in the school year students will complete this program and be given directions about how to use these results in their career exploration!

Many of you are aware that military recruiters use this test for new recruits as they explore their career options.  Edwards-Knox will not release ASVAB test results to the military.  If students wish to have a discussion with a recruiter about their test results they would need to take their results with them when they meet with a recruiter.

Sophomores Invited to Visit SWT!

Ms. Larson, the Counselor at Southwest Tech, has invited the 10th grade students to visit the Tech Center to see what academic programs are available to them.  The trip will be in Tuesday, December 11, 2012, from 8:05am to 11:00am.  Permission slips are due in the E-K Guidance Office by Friday, November 30th.
