The ThunderRidge High School Post Graduate (Post-Grad) Center is a resource center for students, parents and staff that focus' on helping students with their post graduation goals; whether these goals are full time employment upon graduation, military service, technical trade school or, 2 year or 4 year colleges.
The Post-Grad Center is a springboard to researching the plethora of information surrounding the various channels a student can take upon graduation. It helps students and parents find their way through these many channels. It is the job of the Post-Grad Center to support our students and bring awareness of available opportunities through:
1) college, tech and military visits
2) career speakers
3) online college and career research tools, such as Naviance
4) view books from colleges
5) informational packets from outside resources, such as WUE
6) resource books on a variety of topics, such as test prep, college selection, essay writing and much more
7) scholarship and financial aid information, such as FAFSA
The Post-Grad Center is an extension of the Counseling Department. Tamra Maupin is the counselor in charge of the Post-Grad Center, and all other counselors are knowledgeable about the center and its functions. The counseling office and the Post-Grad Center work closely on student testing and computer programs supporting the student, such as ACT, PSAT, CSAP, ASFAB, PLAN, CHOICES, and Naviance. Information gleaned from these tests and programs help students to formulate a plan for their future beyond high school.
Post-Grad is a bridge between high school and the future. It is our job to make this as smooth a transition as possible. If you have questions regarding the Post-Grad Center, you may call Ann Kelling (Post-Grad Secretary) at 303-387-2204.
