Life Planning equips students with life skills. Creating and maintaining healthy work and family relationships, planning for a meaningful career, practicing responsible citizenship, exploring personal health and wellness, and developing a life-management plan are emphasized through relevant life applications. Contextual instruction and student participation in co-curricular career and technical student organization (CTSO) activities will develop leadership, interpersonal, and career skills. High-quality work-based learning (HQWBL) will provide experiential learning opportunities related to students' career goals and/or interests, integrated with instruction, and performed in partnership with local businesses and organizations.
