Guidance Department Main

Welcome to the PCS Guidance Department!

Pathways actively supports students in developing an Individual Career and Academic Plan (ICAP) to support their post-high school goals. For some students, this means direct entrance to a UC, CSU or private college and Pathways has a full complement of a-g approved courses which allow students to enter a university directly following high school. Others may want to attend a local community college and transfer to a university after earning their AA/AS degree, or complete an industry certificate program. Finally, other students may choose to embark on a career or other life plan. We can support all of these pathways. We offer guidance and support in a variety of formats.

• Academic Advising
• Trained and experienced Independent Study Teachers (ISTs) help students review Graduation Requirements, the High School Course Catalog offerings, region specific Class offerings and develop Individual Career and Academic Plans (ICAPs).
• Senior Grad Check meetings. Our Guidance Coordinator reaches out to all seniors.
