Seniors, 
You made it through some of the most impressionable years of your lives.  You will all be moving on from high school to enter into the adult world.  Some of you will go onto college, some of you will go onto a trade school and some of your will enter directly into the work force.  
 
Now life becomes about earning money, saving for a home, making sure you have health insurance, maybe buying a car, and investing time in giving back.  Many adults are not sure where to begin and how to organize, plan and save for all of the things you will need to take on as an adult.  Below are a couple of resources that you may find helpful as you navigate through your journey of life.  
 
Congratulations on all of your accomplishments.  GHS is proud of you!

"Grown Up Stuff" is a book written by author and financial advisor Witty Ryter.  The book uses short descriptions and cartoons to explain topics related to civic responsibilities, employment, living arrangements, paying off debt, owning a car, saving and investing, traveling, and others.  It is a quick read and introduces us to topics that many of us never think about as we enter the adult world.
