About Our Career Center:
Our Career Center is an integral component of the Guidance Department, and is the hub of post high school preparation for the school. It is a resource for information on everything from careers to colleges to scholarships.
Students can receive information about careers, vocational schools, colleges, financial aid, and standardized testing. Students and their parents are encouraged to visit the Career Center often to take advantage of all of the resources it had to offer. The Career Center Advisor works with the students, parents, teachers, administrators and the community.
