Saint Paul Public Schools require all students to develop a six-year educaitonal plan. The Six-Year Plan is an online tool that helps students develop a plan for high school and at least two years of higher education or a high-skill career. Advisors, counselors, and parents can access their students' Six-Year Plans online and are expected to review them with each student at least twice a year.

Guiding Vision:Guiding Vision:
Wouldn’t it be nice if every high school could say that every
student who graduates in 2008 and beyond will have an up-to-date, compelling vision of their desired future and a detailed, viewable plan to get there?
Goals of Six Year Plan:Goals of Six Year Plan:
Motivate students through an association with career and life planning. Too many students feel school is boring and irrelevant.
Create a culture of high aspirations. We must instill the belief that college is possible early on.
Provide students with a tool to help design a 6 Year Plan. A place to tell us about their dreams and ambitions. The things we used to talk about at the dinner table.
Increase the number of students who are engaged in what they are doing in high school and how it connects to their future. Too many students follow the path of least resistance that take them through a series of disconnected classes.
Increase graduation rates for all students. We have to do better.
