Senior Segue
Senior Segue helps seniors transition to the next phase of their lives in college, gap year programs, and the wider world.
Senior Segue provides students the opportunity to expand their learning outside the classroom, particularly in areas that will help them after high school--whether that be in college, during traveling abroad, or simply in living on their own for the first time--while also taking time to say goodbye to their JCHS family and to San Francisco.
Highlights include: a field trip to SAP in Palo Alto to learn about interviewing, resumes and the work world; workshops on financial literacy, cooking, basic auto care, first aid and more; and the traditional walk across the Golden Gate Bridge and picnic! Workshops are led by JCHS professionals and outside presenters. During Senior Segue, seniors also take time to organize the student driven aspects of graduation: the senior speech, senior slide show and Mesibat Siyyum.
