College & Career Ready� The goal is to make sure each student graduates with the

knowledge and skills needed to be successful in their chosen path…

� That path could include community college, 4-yr college or university, trade school or apprenticeship programs, military, gap year program or directly into workforce...

� We strongly encourage keeping options open since minds tend to change as students continue to explore opportunities…

� Opportunity to explore: We can set up an internship or job shadow through our partnership with TBCC/Tillamook Works. Our very own Shelby Owsley is working with us on this!

With that in mind...
