Indiana Graduation Pathways

Making a decision about which diploma to pursue means evaluating where you see yourself in 10 years. And each diploma leads to a different path that isn’t better or worse, but simply helps each student reach the goals they have set for themselves. It is always important for students to meet regularly with a guidance counselor and it is always a good idea to find a mentor within the local community who can help them be successful.
