The Elkhorn Area School District is committed to providing a solid foundation for all students to be successful in their chosen path after graduation. To ensure our graduates are college and career ready, all students in grades 6-12 will create an Academic & Career Plan (ACP). Parents/guardians will be given multiple opportunities during each school year to participate in their child’s academic and career planning.

Youth Apprenticeship is a state-wide program that combines in-class learning and paid work experience.

Career-connected learning and post-high school success are essential for all students. It can be particularly challenging for students with physical, intellectual, or developmental disabilities and their families as they leave high school and enter the world of adult services.
