College & Career Counseling

Each high school has a college and career counseling center where students can research career options, investigate college opportunities, make plans and start taking steps to reach their goals.

You'll find information on careers, career self-assessment, college entrance and testing, job outlook, financial aid and scholarships, colleges and universities, professional technical schools, military careers and much more. Computers are available to assist your search. Visit your college and career counselor at school, or click below to visit the career center on-line.

• ASVAB - The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery Career Exploration Program (ASVAB CEP) is a free tool designed to help students learn more about themselves and the world of work, identify and explore potentially satisfying occupations, and develop an effective strategy to realize their goals. It consists of a set of materials designed to help students integrate their ASVAB test score results with their interests. This comprehensive program meets most school requirements for career planning/transitioning of students.
  To compliment the Career Exploration Program is March 2 Success. The March 2 Success website provides study material and test taking tips to help improve SAT, ACT and ASVAB scores. This site is also beneficial to educators and parents. Although March 2 Success is sponsored and created by the United States Army, it is a beneficial tool for all with full site access. Free enrollment valid for 45 days.
