College-Career-Community Readiness
Winter 2021-2022 Schoolyear
What are College-Career-Community Readiness activities at Memorial High School?
These activities can include:
A) monitoring and setting goals for growth
B) exploring how classes, activities, careers, colleges, & programs of studies fit with their interests, values, skills, talents, and lifestyle

Students do some of their academic and career planning, as well as store artifacts in XELLO, a powerful exploration, goal-setting, and portfolio tool purchased by MMSD for all students. XELLO can be accessed by JMM students through CLASSLINK.
