Hello to Xello
Owosso High School will be using a new platform for Career and College Exploration starting this year. Xello.org is a brand new website replacing the long running careercruising.com which students have used for several years. The program is user friendly and students can easily navigate to draw the connections between career, major and college. Students can look up a career that they may be interested in, see if the career is "in-demand", what type of education background you need to a get for a certification or degree for that career and what college or training institute may have that program for that major. Students at the high school are expected to access Xello.org and complete their Education Development Plan (EDP). Watch Mr. Ciarlino video for OHS students to learn how to complete their Xello EDP.
If you have any questions please either contact our school counselors, Mr Ciarlino (ciarlino@owosso.k12.mi.us) or Mr. Woltjer (woltjer@owosso.k12.mi.us).

REGISTERING FOR SELECTIVE SERVICE: It's Still the Law! While there is no draft, all men 18-25 living in the U.S. must register with SSS.gov because it's still the law, it's your civic duty and a rite of passage. Plus, they will stay eligible for a lifetime of benefits.
