Four-Year Plan
A four-year plan is a tool used to help students project the classes they will/want to take each year of high school. This helps to make sure students are meeting all of their graduation requirements and A-G requirements (course requirements for the UC/CSU college systems). Often looking a few years ahead will help determine classes for the near future. All freshmen students created their four-year plan with a counselor during the spring semester. Students should have them saved in their school Google Drives.
