Helpful questions to ask

These questions can prepare students for counselor, teacher, family, employer, college, or recruiter conversations.

Ask your student

What kind of work or learning makes you feel curious or confident?
Which classes feel connected to something you might want after high school?
Are you leaning toward college, work, military service, multiple options, or still exploring?
What feels confusing, stressful, or worth asking an adult about?

Ask the school

Which courses should this student consider next year based on their goals?
What prerequisites, applications, GPA, placement, transportation, or deadlines matter?
Which credentials, AP/DE options, CTE sequences, or work-based learning opportunities fit?
What details must be officially verified before the student makes a decision?
