When our students leave high school they must have 21st century skills such as financial literacy, health literacy, being a global citizen. When our students leave us they need to know how to be out in the real world on their own. They need life skills that they can carry with them that make them ready to make life decisions and to make the world a better place. They need to be aware of the world around them, and they have to know how to make important life decisions through careful consideration. Students also need to know how to problem solve and think critically. They will not always have someone to turn to to help them solve problems, they have to know how to do it for themselves. They also need to know how to work with other people and be able to communicate effectively. These are all life skills that students need whether they are going into the work force, military or college. They need these skills to simply make it through life.
