High School and Beyond - A Family Resource Guide

The Kelso Longview Chamber Education Foundation has created a planning guide for local students to help them make a clear plan for post-secondary training. The “High School and Beyond” guide will help with the many different questions and challenges both parents and students have when planning their future.

The “High School and Beyond” guide’s information is specific to our community and our students and families. The information will go to every Cowlitz and Wahkiakum County high school parent. The information will assist family discussions, financial planning and support for future planning. This guide supports the new graduation requirement that every graduate have a “Beyond High School Plan”. All schools, even our private schools are providing a financial commitment to this project. All contributions are tax deductible. If you would like to be a proud sponsor please contact the Chamber or click here for more information.
