Pursuing a THD is NOT required to participate in a vocational program.
Still Confused Which Diploma is Right for You?
Things to consider: What is your plan for after high school? What career would you like the pursue? What training is required for that career? What are the requirements for the colleges or
universities you are considering? What will best prepare you to complete your future
goals for after high school? What are your interests?
So What’s Next???
Once you have an idea of which diploma you would like to receive, how do you get there?
First, you create a plan of classes you will take for the rest of your high school career to help guide you in completing the requirements to meet your diploma goal. This is called the “freshmen planner.”
Four Year Plans
Keep in mind, the courses you take now matter when it comes to careers and especially college!

Important Information to Remember
Some classes have prerequisite classes or grade requirements
Some classes are year-longSome colleges may require at
least two years of a world language and extra math credits for admission, regardless of diploma type
Know the diploma you are working towards and keep track of your progress
