To help students navigate the wide variety of resources available to them, the South Dakota Statewide Family Engagement Center has created The Ultimate College and Career Resource Guide (https://sdsfec.org/college-career-guide/). This is a free online “one-stop-shop” resource guide for students, families, schools, and communities.
From exploring careers to looking at colleges to figuring out how to pay for college, this guide is intended to help students and their families plan for the future.
We encourage you to check out this useful resource as you plan for the future. You are also encouraged to visit with Mrs. Britzman, high school counselor, for additional information and resources.
