The senior high school offers specializations where various tracks and strands are accessible. This makes it simpler for a student to adjust in new environment once they move on from Senior High School. The tracks that available are Academic Track, Arts & Design Track, Sports Track, and Technical Vocational Livelihood Track. But a lot of people are wondering on what benefits can students get from Senior High School. How can it help students prepare better for college? How can it help students get jobs? How can it help students select the careers they will embark on?
First and foremost, for the tracks mentioned above, the one that I will recommend the most is the Academic Track. Why? It is because this is one where I belong. I am a STEM student and I will tell you that it was the best so far. Being in this field is a good opportunity because I was able to engage in many activities and learning. This strand helps me in everything. Before, when I was still in my junior high school year, I was so confused about what will be the course that I will take in college. I searched the four tracks in SHS and I was convinced with the academic track in the STEM strand. Now, I was in my second year being in this strand and it was kinda hard but I was so thankful that I am part of this field. Choosing an academic track means I am looking forward to going to college. This track will help you and me to prepare for the subject specialization of the college course you will take in the future. But it is up to if what strand would you take as long as you will engage in this track because I know that you will love and like this domain.
What is Academic Track?
The academic track is simply the track that prepares students for the most common college courses such as business management, engineering, and the sciences. Upon choosing the academic track, students can choose from four different strands: General Academic; Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics; Accountancy, Business, and Management; and Humanities and Social Sciences. I will explain each strand to make the incoming SHS students enhance their minds and they can think properly on what track or strand that they wanted to pursue in Senior High School.

The students that wanted to pursue a major in college related to education are to be place in this strand.
This track gives you more time and chance to choose what you really like to pursue in college. The following are the possible jobs for GAS students:
Bachelor in Secondary Education ( BSED ), Bachelor of Elementary Education ( BEE ), Applied Ecomomics ( financing, secretary,manager etc ), and BSBA operations management.
These strands in the academic track give a student an idea of what they wanted to pursue in college. If a student has already a decision on what he/she wanted to take in SHS, then it is a good thing. A student must already have a decision to make so that they can be able to know what is their strength and weaknesses. Before, I was afraid to enter SHS because I heard from our sisters and brothers back then that it was so difficult. They are correct but engaging with its different concept, I was able to adjust and love the ambiance of my strand and I am practicing loving it. I didn't regret that I get the STEM strand because it helps me a lot. It helps me in my journey. It helps me to think what is the best course that I will take in college. Thanks to the Academic track, I was able to learn and think carefully. Academic Track is the best track for you as a student so what are you waiting for? Enroll now and be part of our field.
