Xello is an online career exploration and planning tool available to Coeur d'Alene Public School students starting in middle school. Activities within Xello are integrated into the curriculum, but we encourage students to continue exploration at home with family members and to discuss results.
Using Xello, students discover how their strengths and interests align with careers that inspire them. Then they build the academic plan to get them there. Students will more clearly understand how the school coursework they do today impacts the life they live beyond graduation. Our hope is that this tool will be utilized by all secondary students in our district.

Students complete activities twice each year in grades 08-12 that research, personalize, and prepare for their future goals.
