Academic Career Plan (ACP)

Beginning 2011-2012 academic year, all 7th graders shall being to develop a personal Academic Career Plan to become a part of their program of study for high school graduation and post secondary career pathways based on the student's academic and career interests. We will be using the website www.vawizard.org to start this new endeavor. This school year we will begin to explore these interests.  Other tools that may be used are Virginia Career View and the Naviance System.

Here at Carter G. Woodson we are dedicated to meeting and exceeding the state expectations.  To begin this process, students will participate in career exploration testing this year:
