COLLEGE AND CAREER CENTER:
College Visits to the Career Center will start on Monday, September 16th and take place frequently until early November. Students in Grades 11 and 12 may register in Naviance to attend. These are excused absences, but students must inform their teacher in advance to ensure they can miss class. College visits are about 30-45 minutes with an admissions counselor who will give a brief presentation and take questions from students. They are very helpful in the college search process. To see the list of visits and register, go to your Naviance home screen and find the What’s New section in the bottom right corner. See the original Ms. Carty B in the Career Center with questions.
