College & Career Planning
Counselors work with students throughout their high school years to offer a framework for college and career planning. Through classroom lessons (called GATE) and individual or small group meetings, students learn about key elements of the college process and career search, including the importance of grades and a strong transcript; the value of researching a wide range of colleges; recommended scheduling of SAT and/or ACT; financial aid; and the application process itself.
