Hancock: Prepare students for college and careers

Posted

It is amazing to consider that the first IPhone was released just over a decade ago. The launch of that technology created entire industries and careers which had never before existed. Who knows what the next decade will bring?

As a district, we must prepare our students for 21st-century careers by teaching them how to innovate, create, problem-solve, and lead. This includes expanding career and technical programs in our schools so that students can develop skills to be career ready upon graduation.

At the same time, our district must make sure that every student is ready to thrive in college. The academic, social, and emotional knowledge students need to succeed in college is also essential for success in the job market.

An outstanding education provides choices for our students. As a district, we should be committed to ensuring that every graduate is both college and career ready.
