About the Guidance Department

The Guidance Department
Making your life easier!

The Guidance Department, located in the College Resource Center, is the hub of students’ pre-college and college planning. In addition to ongoing developmental college guidance beginning in ninth grade, the Guidance Department coordinates all testing activities and serves as the primary and referral resource for students. Activities include academic advising, curriculum planning, personal concerns and needs, and career guidance.
