What is college ready?

College ready means that as a high school graduate you have the knowledge and skills necessary to qualify for and succeed in entry-level, credit-bearing college courses without the need for remedial coursework.  The Utah Core helps to ensure that you will meet the standards necessary to be successful.

What is career ready?

Career ready means that you graduate from high school with the English and mathematics knowledge and skills needed to qualify for and succeed in a career and prepared for education and training necessary to take you to the next steps in your chosen career path.                                 

How Do We Help?

CCR Department programs and services advocate for equitable educational access and rigorous academic preparation necessary for college and career readiness for all students as they:

  • Identify students who need additional supports and services for academic and behavioral success.
  • Identify and work to eliminate systemic barriers that restrict access and acquisition of educational preparation necessary for college readiness; especially for students from ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic groups that have been traditionally underserved.
  • Ensure that students have access to the full range of options and opportunities available in Granite School District.
