College and Career Advising

  • Did you know moment??

    That EVERY 7-12 grade student has an assigned college and career advisor?? You and your student can contact them anytime and talk about what's next, how do we get set up to reach future goals and what do we do if we aren't sure what to do or how to access opportunities???

    That was a lot to process, but the bottom line is this: Students and parents need help navigating the "system" of higher education and career planning. The state helps our district by providing people to do that. Don't hesitate to call and visit with them! Make an appointment to meet them at the school or stalk them til they help you! (You won't have to go that far). 

    They LOVE to help and they know EVERYTHING (nearly everything).

    NEXT STEPS after high school is not just college. It's anything and everything that leads to a successful career! They can help with it all.

    FROM THE ADVISORS:

    What we do:

    Provide College & Career Planning, help with college applications, dual credit/IDLA course selection, Advanced Opportunities funding, FAFSA and Scholarship Assistance, and transferring credits.

    We help high school students choose dual credit courses to take while in high school that will satisfy general education requirements in the college/university that they plan on attending.  
    We provide information/assistance to students in career exploration for all careers, not just ones that require college degrees. We provide information on trade skills and where to get training for those. 
     
    This year we will be having 2 FAFSA and 2 Scholarship/parent information nights at each school.  
    We are now located in or near the Counseling offices at each of the high schools.  
    Students and parents can make appointments to meet with us after hours or before school  by emailing us.  We are also happy to answer any questions they might have as well.
