A valuable resource for our students and their parents is our Career Center. The Career Center has many tools to help students research careers and colleges. Among them are the newest editions of the various college guides such as Peterson’s and Barron’s, books on many different careers, college catalogs, and college and career videos. Students may browse through summer program information and scholarship applications. Many current college applications are also available in the career center. We have several computers for student use.
