Career & College Readiness Expectations

The Career Project is a culminating activity that provides a way for students to demonstrate the knowledge and skills they acquired throughout their years at Three Rivers Middle College High School. It engages students in a project/experience that focuses on an interest, career path or academic pursuit that synthesizes classroom study and real world perspective. Three River Middle College High School students are asked to demonstrate their ability to apply key knowledge and skills by planning, completing and presenting a culminating project linked to one or more area of personal interest and the individual's Student Success Plan. 

The Career Choices experience may include an in-depth project, reflective portfolio, community service and/or internship. As part of the experience, the student will demonstrate research, communication and technology skills including additional relevant 21st century skills. During the second semester of senior year, students will present their 10 year Career Plan and their graduation portfolio containing the products and performances that demonstrate their degree of proficiency on the ten school-wide graduation expectations. 

Students must show evidence of meeting the four graduation standards through their digital portfolio as shown in the profile of the graduate.
