JUHSD has partnered with the California College Guidance Initiative (CCGI) to help students develop a well-informed college and career plan. CCGI is a nonprofit that works with school districts throughout California to achieve two major goals:
Ensure that all high school seniors in California graduate with clear postsecondary goals and a plan for how to achieve them
Each student’s academic transcript data follows them as they advance across educational systems to reduce information gaps that could otherwise hinder their success.
CaliforniaColleges.edu offers students, families, and educators a single access point for college and career preparation, applications, planning tools, and information to help plan for life after high school. Click here to access the JUHSD College and Career Readiness website to view resources available through CaliforniaColleges.edu.
