MyCAP

MyCAP (My Career and Academic Plan)

All secondary students in Cherry Creek must develop their plans for graduation and beyond. The MyCAP development starts in Grade 6 and lays the critical foundation for exploring self-awareness, post-secondary and career opportunities, and short- and long-term goal-setting. This planning helps ensure that each student's post-secondary goals are aligned with the chosen pathway.  The MyCAP is a working portfolio that follows the student from middle to high school, up through Grade 12, and may include but is not limited to: 

• Career exploration, including interests and strengths surveys;
• Academic progress, including courses taken, assessment results (PSAT, SAT);
• Financial literacy lessons;
• Experiences in work-based learning; 
• Post-secondary credit opportunities in high school, such as concurrent and dual enrollment;
• Completing various applications (college admissions, scholarships, internships, etc.).
