Senior High Principal Staci Laird gave the Fort Dodge Community School District Board of Education a comprehensive review of goals at the school, entitled "A Vision for You."
Those goals include 70 percent of students being proficient in literacy.
They also include having all teachers assess on employability skills.
Other areas include an individual/district career and academic plan.
The first Iowa Central Career Day was held in October with three more to follow.
Laird reported that 54 students have been taken on two college visits this year to Iowa State University in Ames and the University of Iowa in Iowa City. Another 40 students will visit the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls.
The board learned that 127 students will receive an Academic Letter of Excellence for three consecutive trimesters at a grade-point average of 3.5 or above.
The end of the first trimester is Thursday. The second trimester begins Monday.
