What does it mean for students to be truly college- and career-ready? With input from over 100 community members, a college and career ready graduate is prepared to successfully demonstrate six critical skills:
 
  1. Creative Problem-solving
  2. Technical Literacy
  3. Communication and Collaboration
  4. Self-Awareness, Self-Reliance, Self-Discipline
  5. Integrity
  6. Community Engagement
 
To help staff, parents and students understand the importance of these core life skills and to build awareness about them, the Graduate Profile video and poster was created and adopted by our Governing Board to serve as a reference point to align the college and career readiness objectives of other initiatives, including the Common Core, Next Generation Science and Career Technical Education standards.
