BRONTE HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION PLANS Seniors 2008, 2009, and 2010
The Importance of Higher Education, and the Recommended and Distinguished Achievement Graduation Plans
In today's technological age it is important for young people to consider education beyond high school. Not only will further education increase your chances of getting a better job, it also gives you the chance to enjoy your life's work. A well-designed high school plan will increase your chances of fulfilling your goals and dreams. To prepare for education beyond high school, you should be on the Recommended or Distinguished Achievement Plan. The Recommended Plan is the one all Bronte High School students typically began as freshmen. If you are thinking about earning a GED, you will greatly decrease your chances of getting a job you like, a good paying job, or one that will give you satisfaction. The more education you have, the more doors will be opened for you. Stay in school, work hard and challenge yourself. Don't try to coast through high school. Make it count!!
