Sequoia High School has a college going culture and no matter where students start as 9th graders; we plan to help students become eligible to apply to a 4-year college upon graduation and help them explore their options. We meet with all students during the spring semester for the next school year’s course selection in a classroom setting, followed by a short individual appointment.
