all Teaching juniors must complete a year-long project about
their life after high school. They take career interest surveys
and the AC. They do intensive research on Careers using the
Ohio Career Interest System (OCIS) database and other web-based
library research tools. Students then find colleges who will
prepare them for their career choices. In May, all juniors
give a public demonstration of their project to their parents,
students and college representatives accompanied by a multi-media
presentation.
