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.
The center is open during lunches, after school, or during class with a pass from their teacher. Parents are welcome to call or make an appointment to visit.
Admission counselors can now go to https://CounselorCommunity.com to schedule an appointment with our high school. Thank you.
