College & Career Planning
College provides students with the ability to study and specialize in a variety of fields and professions. Each college and university is different and offers students unique opportunities. Ready to plan for college? Visit the HHS Counseling Office or contact your school counselor for planning timelines and checklists for your junior and senior year.
Two-Year Colleges
If you’re not sure what major or college would be the best fit, consider attending a community college. Community colleges are public, two-year schools that provide an excellent education, whether you’re considering an associate’s degree, a certificate program, technical training, or plan to continue your studies at a four-year college.
Technical and Skill Based Careers
For many students, the decision to pursue technical training relates to the career path they have selected. Vocational education typically guides graduates directly into a career, due to the hands-on training that builds a foundation for a specific job. If you have a career in mind, a technical school can help you transition from student to professional quickly.
Armed Forces
The U.S. Armed Forces consists of five service branches:
There are three general categories of military people:
- active duty (full-time soldiers and sailors)
- reserve & guard forces (usually work a civilian job, but can be called to full-time military duty)
- veterans and retirees
