In November 2005, the Woodstock Community Unit School District Board of Education adopted a policy which states that "a career awareness and exploration program must be available at all grade levels." Immediate action was taken to find ways for students to learn about careers Pre-K through twelfth grade.
Below you will find links for students, parents, teachers, and community members to navigate through the District 200 world of careers along with the pathways and resources that students can use to get there.
