High School & Beyond Plan – ACTION REQUIRED – DUE MAY 1, 2026

SchooLinks provides a centralized place for students to complete and track every HSBP requirement from middle school through graduation. This tool can help students explore careers, prepare for college, and track progress toward graduation.

All Stadium students need to login to SchooLinks and complete the HSBP assignments for their grade level. Students can access SchooLinks through Clever. Once in Clever, login with Office 365 and then select SchooLinks.

Seniors, it is time to finalize your High School & Beyond Plans! Here is a Student Guide to assist you with submitting – don’t forget to upload your resume! Seniors, this is a REQUIRED component for graduation. If you do not submit your HSBP by Friday, you will be at risk for not walking at graduation. Get into SchooLinks and get it done!
