College Counseling

College Counseling Mission: To guide students to discover and develop their interests and skills in order to create a college or career plan that supports their personal strengths and goals.

College Counseling Goals

To work with each student and family individually in order to make students aware of the options available for college. We focus on helping find a college match that:

Academically challenges the student,
Aligns with their interests, values, & career goals and
Is an institution where they will grow and thrive personally

To provide resources so that all families are equipped and informed in the college process. These are to include areas such as self-assessment, time management, standardized testing, college selection, applications, and financial aid /scholarships.

Visiting a college and need the Excused Absence Request Form?

(1) Let the office know the days you will be absent, (2) fill out the request form, (3) get a verification from the college you are visiting, and (4) turn in the request form and verification so that your absence will be excused. Otherwise it will remain as an unexcused absence.
