Career Education and College Guidance Centers

Career Education and College Guidance continue to play a vital role in helping students plan for and achieve their career and life goals. They encourage students to open their mind to the numerous opportunities awaiting them, to explore their interests and talents, and to take a realistic look into the world that awaits them after high school.

Through the services provided by our Career Centers, students are exposed to the infinite possibilities available in their future. They are equipped with the tools they need to plan for future endeavors. And, they are provided with the continued support and encouragement that they need to be successful in life.

It is our hope that by showing students how to assess their interests and talents, then they become able to evaluate various careers and tailor their career path to meet their interests. In addition, we aim to show students how to effectively plan for goals so that they gain skills which will assist them in overcoming future challenges.

The mission of the Career Center is to offer a career guidance program and to provide assistance and resources to support students in making real life connections to academic learning. The Career Center, in conjunction with ROP, enables students to gain the skills, ability and confidence to transition successfully to post-secondary education, and/or work and in life. The Career Center provides support so that all students may graduate from high school with the tools needed to answer the “lifelong learning” questions:

Who Am I?

Where Am I Going?

How Do I Get There?
