surrounded by a crowd of monkeys, each with a
pair of immense and powerful wings on his
shoulders.

there will be a recommended high school program
of study all of which can be customized by the
region, district and/or school to reflect the
opportunities specific to them, then personalized
by the STUDENT within his/her Planning Portfolio.

  careers someday.
