Students plan for success with HHS
programs
Bv Mallorie Jones
Heppner High School
has two classes available
for students to learn about
how to have a successful
career and future.
Beth Dickenson will
teach Success 101 to the
freshmen. In this class, the
students will be taught how
to answer the following
questions: Who am 1? What
do 1 want? How do 1 get it?
“Career Choices: a guide
for teens and young adults”
is the book students will
use to guide them to the
answers.
This class is designed
to help students find
their unique abilities and
give them greater self-
knowledge. The plan is to
create the skills and attitude
each student will need to
have successful careers.
“ (T his is a) G reat
planning tool and important
for the freshmen to plan for
their futures,” said Petra
Payne, who teaches the
school’s senior transitions
class.
The freshman class
will be expected to write
plans for their own futures.
The students will need to
know how to set good goals
and have decision-making
skills.
They will also need to
know how to identify and
use good mentors. Because
the students are still young,
their plans may change.
Payne teaches
senior transitions to the
12lh graders. This class
w as c re a te d to help
students meet graduation
requirements, including
their senior portfolio, along
with helping them plan and
be prepared for the future.
The class is to help the
seniors decide what they
really want to do and what it
takes to continue education
or start a career, as well as
identify financial needs.
Students will have time
to search for options that
pertain to them and view the
options that are available.
They will look at post
secondary options such as
trade school, a four- or a
two-year college, and they
will even look at military
options.
The students will learn
how to fill out applications
to colleges and may even
apply to the college of their
choice. Students will also
be given time to fill out

Ribbon Week
scholarship applications
and write essays for them.
“It’s going well. I am
excited to give students
the opportunity to explore
options for their future
and give them time to
work on applications and
scholarships," said Payne.
Through Everfi,
a website that educates
in critical skills and is
sponsored by the Bank
o f Eastern Oregon, the
students will get a good
look at how life is as an
adult. Many subjects such
as taxes and insurance,
along with different types
of bank accounts, will be
addressed.
Bot h c l a s s e s are
designed to teach students
about a successful future
and help unsure students
learn about what they want
to do. They may also help
those who already know the
direction they want to go
arm themselves with more
information for the journey
ahead.
