College & Career Planning

A job means many things to many people, extending beyond a way to earn money and be productive. For most people a job is also a vehicle for greater access to community participation, personal relationships, and enhanced quality of life. There are many paths to acquiring meaningful careers, whether through on-the-job training, vocational/technical schools, or attending a college/university.

Your guidance counselor and liaison work together to help you to plan for your future. Be sure to keep your Naviance username and password handy so that you can continue to build upon what you already know! If you lose your username or password, contact your Guidance Counselor, and they can reset it for you.

KP has a Dual Enrollment arrangement with Bristol Community College, Massasoit Community College, and Bridgewater State University. This means that eligible students can attend college classes during their high school years. Contact your student’s guidance counselor for more information.
