Student who plan to play competitive sports in college must be NCAA eligible. Go to the Northridge High Counseling website and click on NCAA.

Look at your Graduation Summary via your my.DSD account
Reports
Graduation Summary
You must make up failed core classes.
Meet with your counselor to make a plan before you pay money for something you may not need.
Graduation summary also tells you if you have U’s. Talk with Mrs. Bitton about making them up.
Not all classes offered by private institutions are accepted by Davis School District for graduation credits. For example, Computer Technology and CTE courses from the Northridge Learning Center do NOT fulfill the Computer Tech and Career and Technology requirements. Before signing up for any alternative program check with your counselor.

On-The-Job-Training
Those with training and education typically kept their current jobs or were able to find other employment. In addition they were more likely to have insurance which helped pay for their losses.

6. Future Job Outlook 80% of the current jobs
require training beyond a high
school education.
The basic requirement for middle-class status and earnings in both good and bad economies is a post high school education.
By 2020 there will be 3 million more jobs available than there will be
college graduates to fill them.
