ANTIOCH, Calif — While many aspects of education were uprooted with the COVID-19 pandemic, the team at Antioch High School is being recognized for their outstanding efforts to inspire students to set and achieve life goals.
Antioch High School is being awarded a Career Choices Gold Medal for their exceptional program promoting student success with the Career Choices series curriculum and My10yearPlan.com. The school’s Career Choices program helps students, starting in their freshman year, to create online 10-year plans for their future education and career goals.
Antioch High School is among only 22 schools across the nation that have been awarded a Career Choices Medal for the 2020–21 school year. The 2020–21 academic year brought many unprecedented challenges to the education sector, including the temporary shift to remote instruction and the increased need to attend to students’ social-emotional health. Antioch High School addressed these challenges and more with a robust career- and college-focused program for students.
“This medal means that despite the detours and roadblocks the year presented, [Antioch High School] went above and beyond in their commitment to supporting student success and improving college and career readiness,” said Brianne Navarrete, a representative for Academic Innovations, the publisher of the Career Choices series curriculum.
The teachers and administrators behind this Antioch High School program worked diligently throughout this past year of challenges to keep students focused on the future and working toward achieving their goals. This award is our way of acknowledging those efforts and the positive impact these educators left on their students, school and community, said Laurel Ortez, another representative for Academic Innovations.
“It’s a great accomplishment that requires solid leadership, top-notch teachers, and a lot of hard work from everyone involved, especially in the 2020–21 school year,” Ortez said.
