The BHS Counseling Department is always looking for new ways to support students in their academic lives, their career explorations and their potential future pathways. We as a department get asked all of the time about how students can connect their strengths to a future career or how they can connect their interests to majors and job opportunities. Students and families want to learn more about different college campuses, career tracks and don’t often know where to begin.  

You are in luck!  We have a program that can help with all of the above and more!  AND … you don’t have to be at school to access it!   You can do it from home!  The program is Xello.

What is Xello?

Xello is an engaging online program that helps students build the skills, knowledge and exposure to be future ready. The program uses an investigative, discovery-based learning process so that students better understand themselves, their future career options, and the 21st century skills they’ll need to succeed.  (View short video or click here.)
