High School and Beyond Plan Explained
The High School and Beyond Plan is a graduation requirement for every student. It's a process for students, parents, and teachers to guide students through high school and think about their future. Plans are personalized and designed to help students set, visualize, and work to achieve goals. A High School and Beyond Plan is one of the three components, along with Credit and Subject Area Requirements, and Graduation Pathway Options, that Washington students must complete to achieve a high school diploma.
Lind-Ritzville High School uses a digital platform, called Xello, to help our staff and student engage in the high school and beyond planning, starting in the 7th grade. Here are some of the highlights of the program:
