College and Career Specialist

The main purpose of the College and Career Center is to help students to better prepare for their life after graduation.  A student can get one on one attention and help with researching colleges and the best fit for them, how to apply to college(s), financial aid and scholarship information. 

In addition to helping students with college information, we have several recruiters from colleges that visit our campus.  Students have the ability to sign up in our Guidance Department to meet with college recruiters to ask questions and gather information to help make valuable decisions as to where they may want to attend college.  There are several field trips to various colleges throughout the year and students are encouraged to attend.

Several times a month we host our military partners on campus as well for students that may be considering going to the military.  We have all branches of the military represented on campus at different times usually during both lunches.  Signups are not required for this. 

Parents and students are welcome to call or make Virtual appointments for information and assistance.

Admission counselors can now go to https://CounselorCommunity.com to schedule College visits with our high school.  Thank you.

  • Free/Reduced Lunch Application College Benefits – for More than Just School Lunches!

    • Free and reduced-price meals are available to families who qualify. If your family chooses to apply, please fill out a Free & Reduced Meal Application.

      Did you know that if you qualify for assistance through the National School Lunch Program (NLSP), you may eligible to receive grants for Dual Enrollment fees, fee waivers for the SAT/ACT exams, some College Applications, and fee reductions for AP Exams?

      From the College Board:

      "The College Board fee-waiver service assists qualified, economically disadvantaged students who plan to take the: SAT/SAT Subject Tests/PSAT/NMSQT/AP Exams. A student must be either enrolled in or eligible to participate in, the National School Lunch Program (NLSP) in order to receive a fee waiver. Schools participating in new federal programs such as Community Eligibility may not be able to use the NLSP criterion to identify and verify individual student fee-waiver eligibility. However, several other criteria or indicators can still be used to confirm eligibility for fee-waiver benefits." 

      For more information, please speak with your School Counselor.

    COLLEGE CALCULATOR

    A little math never hurt anyone. Net Price Calculators are available on most college or university websites, allowing prospective students to enter information about themselves to find out what students like them paid to attend the institution in the previous year, after taking grants and scholarship aid into consideration.
