Explore. Discover. Find Your Path.
High School Hacks is a student-led platform designed for students who do not have access to family connections, insider guidance, or established networks.
Many opportunities in high school-whether in academics, extracurriculars, or career exploration-are often easier to access through personal connections.
This site is built for students who are starting without that advantage.
High School Hacks focuses on helping students independently discover and create opportunities through practical guidance, real experiences, and step-by-step resources.
Our mission is to make opportunity more accessible for students navigating high school without guidance or networks.

Who’s Behind High School Hacks?
Created by Praneel Daliboyina, high school student.
I’m a high school student who cares a lot about how teens handle high school, and planning for the future. I started High School Hacks and built the PathFinder tool to share what I’ve learned, make things less confusing, and give other students a place to explore options without feeling alone or overwhelmed.
