The goal at Southeastern is to have students choose a career major that excites them about school and education. Recognizing the fact that many incoming students have not spent much time considering their future, we have developed a Freshman Exploratory Program.

This program combines career counseling, career exploration, academic studies, and testing to help student make the right decision. Ninth grade applicants are asked to select several technical areas they wish to explore. The exploratory program will consist of examining many different program areas. Parents are encouraged to actively participate in their child’s decision by asking them about each program that they explore and by attending Freshman Parent Meetings.

Near the completion of the ninth grade, students will be asked to choose a career major. Every effort is made to place students in the career major that they choose. Acceptance into many programs is highly competitive, and students are ranked based on their effort, grades, behavior, and attendance. It is imperative that ninth grade students do well in all their classes, maintain nearly perfect attendance, and avoid behavioral issues. Students not getting their first choice will be assigned an alternate program and placed on a waiting list. All our programs prepare students for high-demand high-paying career fields.
