High School and Beyond Plan

There are four main tasks Seniors are required to complete in order to have MET the High School and Beyond Plan on Naviance.

Four Main Tasks

1. Complete an Interest Inventory | Most Seniors have this completed | Complete either “Do What You Are” or “Strengths Explorer”
2. Create OR upload a Resume | Most Seniors still need to complete this step | Create a Resume in Naviance using their template or upload your own!
3. Apply for Scholarships OR complete the High School & Beyond Plan: My Life, My Decision-Costs Exit Ticket. If you applied for the Seattle Promise, you can list this as a scholarship in the “Apply for Scholarships” task
4. Complete a SPS Graduation Survey | All Seniors will take this survey | The survey will out soon. All students must complete this survey regardless of their post high school plans. This survey is also how the school knows where to send transcripts to colleges.

Seniors! Be sure to set your “Attending College”, and select the “order final transcript” button. After competing all four steps, Counselors will change senior transcripts to MET for the High School & Beyond.
