The Road to Success
It is never too early to start thinking about how the next 4 years will impact life after high school. In the freshman year, it is important to start planning out your high school experience, as well as, thinking about what types of colleges and careers might interest you and seeking out opportunities to learn and grow!
What are the A-G Requirements?
In California, the A-G system guides families to understand what classes students should take to be ready for a 4-year institution. Students must earn a "C" or better for a course to count as A-G. To learn more about A-G visit the University of California A-G Guide.
Using Naviance to Prepare
New Tech High uses the college and career readiness tool Naviance to help students think about life after high school. Through advisory, students complete modules and reflection activities to build a better understanding of what colleges and careers might be the best fit for them. Students have access to Naviance 24/7 and can access it through the Family Connection website linked below.
