MJHS Ready Graduate Center

Every Maryville student deserves to enter the next phase of life with the appropriate tools for that next step. Are you Maryville Ready?

Our new college and career program will help every student become a “Ready Graduate." We will do this through intentional one-on-one planning, purposeful pathway design, and focused self-discovery. We have created a program that individualizes each student’s path through high school to maximize their choices for the college or career path.

• Resilient
• Respectful
• Critical Thinker
• Problem Solver
• Communicator
• Competitor in the World
• Meets or exceeds state and local expectations.

In 2020, under the “Every Student Succeeds ACT” (ESSA), the State of Tennessee implemented its “Ready Graduate” program. The goal is to recognize and reward schools and districts whose high school graduates demonstrate readiness for meaningful postsecondary education, a training program, and/or workforce entry. In simple terms, our Maryville students should be ready to go to college, trade school, or go straight into the workforce.

• Advanced Placement Course (AP)
• College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
• Local Dual Credit Courses (LDC)
• State Dual Credit Course (SDC)
• Industry Certification

Within our program, we utilize the award-winning School Links college and career readiness platform. This is a phenomenal resource for students to become thoroughly educated about their college, career, or military strengths and options. This all-encompassing tool fits well in the history and expectation of excellence in Maryville City Schools.

The Field Experience component of the Ready Graduate program connects students with real-world opportunities to explore careers, develop essential workplace skills, and build professional networks. Through job shadowing, industry visits, internships, and hands-on projects, students gain valuable insight into career pathways while strengthening the skills that make them college- and career-ready. These experiences not only prepare students for their next steps after high school but also empower them to make informed decisions about their future with confidence and purpose.

The Lunch & Learn component of the Ready Graduate program provides students with direct access to professionals from a wide range of careers. During their lunch period, students gain valuable insight into different industries, learn about the skills and pathways needed for success, and have the opportunity to ask questions in an engaging, informal setting. These experiences not only connect classroom learning to real-world applications but also help students build confidence, broaden their horizons, and envision new possibilities for their future.
