Planning Your Future

Planning Your Future

Making choices for your future isn’t always easy. As a Catholic organization, the Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board recognizes that every student is created in the image of God with unique gifts, interests, goals and strengths. We appreciate your individuality as a student and want to make sure you are provided with every opportunity to succeed in high school.

There are so many options of things to do once you have completed high school – perhaps you want to enter the world of work, train for an apprenticeship or pursue post-secondary education at college or university. Whatever path you choose, it is important to start planning now so that you can be better prepared for the future.

Choosing a high school program that complements your future plans, goals and aspirations is very important. We encourage you to visit the High School Program section of this web site to get more information about what you can expect when you attend one of our high schools.

This section of our web site will provide you with valuable information to help you plan for your future. The more information you gather and the more research you do, the better prepared you will be for life after high school. The Resources to the Plan the Future section provides links to resourceful web sites. Information about What's Your Destination and Exploring Your Interests will also be helpful. And when it comes time to start choosing elective courses, be sure to visit our Choosing the Right Courses link.

If you have any questions or would like more assistance choosing your high school courses, please book an appointment with a guidance counsellor at your school.
