Model OAS Field Trip

On June 2nd and 3rd, Advanced Placement (AP) Social Studies Teacher, Mr. Cosey took Granville students to SUNY Plattsburgh to work with other high school students from across Northern New York and Western Vermont, for the MODEL OAS exercises.

Model OAS (Model Organization of American States) is a simulation exercise where students represent member states of the OAS (Organization of American States) and participate in diplomatic negotiations and debates to address current issues in the Americas. It's an educational tool used to teach students about international relations, diplomacy, and the Inter-American System.

Career Planning

Grades 7-12 is an important time to start talking about what happens after high school with your student.

In 8th grade, families can apply for P-TECH, a free program that begins in 9th grade and leads to a FREE two-year college degree in one of two in-demand technology careers: Advanced Manufacturing or Computer Networking and Cybersecurity.

In 9th Grade, families who qualify can apply for the FREE TRIO Upward Bound program to mentor your student through high school (be ready to apply early in the 9th grade school year.)

In 10th grade, students can apply for BOCES which offers FREE 17 professional trade training programs that lead to good paying, in-demand jobs.

Students can take college level classes and we have FREE Early College and Career Academy (ECCA) to earn a two-year college degree in a variety of programs -- all while in high school.

We have Syracuse University Advance Project (SUPA) classes to gain college credit while in high school. A huge savings!

Funding Vocational School and College

Check out this free 2-year to 5-year college-tuition scholarship for NYS families earning under 125K. Guidance has the latest information about Scholarships, apprenticeships, college and more.

Vermont students who graduate from Granville can also receive in-state SUNY tuition.

It all starts with getting to school on time and being curious about the opportunities available, while you're in school.

Talk to your guidance counselor to discuss how to get started.
