Guidance Specialists        Work in the administration building and enroll new students, attend to student schedules and requests for changes and provide necessary assessment and pre-registration activities for 8th through 12th graders in choosing classes each year.  They also review academic records and inform students if they are missing subjects or credits needed to graduate on time or to enroll in a 4-year college.         

College and Career Specialist    The college and career specialist runs the college and career center and goes out to the classrooms at all grade levels to conduct brief college information presentations.  She is available for questions related to college admissions and career choices.  She also provides detailed information about college admissions testing and facilitates the PSAT in October, the ASVAB and the SOAR in the spring.  She sets up college representative visits in the career center for students.  This fall, she is located out in room 502 in the colony.  Please refer to the website for more details.
