The Addison Trail Counseling Department is ready to begin course selection for the 2024-25 school year. To assist students and parents/guardians with this process, the following events will take place.
Course selection is a vital part of a student’s high school career, and parental involvement is essential to assist students in making successful academic choices. The Course Listing Guide will be available soon at www.dupage88.net/CourseGuide.
Below are important reminders regarding the course selection process:
District 88 and Addison Trail are committed to providing multiple and flexible pathways for students to ensure they are college and career ready.
We continue to work with colleges, universities and local businesses to enhance these options and meet our students’ diverse and individual needs. We know these pathways are critical to help with the labor shortage and to connect students to hands-on, immersive experiences, as well as certifications, credentials and scholarships.
One of our top priorities is to remove barriers for all students to help them access employment and build positive futures. The focus is to connect them with viable short-term and long-term career options and work-based learning that can provide a supported pathway through their college pursuits.
Addison Trail students also have access to Advanced Placement/college-level and dual-credit classes, as well as externally credentialed and dual-credit career pathways in automotive technology, culinary arts, business careers, engineering, medical careers, PLTW (engineering and biomedical), teacher preparation, building trades and robust internship and paid apprenticeship programs in the manufacturing and technology fields. We have established a variety of apprenticeships, internships and vocational trainings, including the CTE Youth Apprenticeship Program, CNC Machining Fundamentals, The Education Teacher Preparation Program and Heritage Spanish Career Fluency.
