When you visit Mrs. A. in the Career Center, we will work together to find out what your path looks like. We'll work to combine your likes and your strengths to create a plan that empowers you to meet your definition of success. Stop in today!

Welcome Back!

The smell of new shoes and freshly sharpened pencils means it's one of my favorite times of year! Back to school time is a fresh start for everybody. You can choose to make a difference every day you come to school. Now might be a great time for you to start exploring different careers through Job Shadows. Maybe you want to learn more about the "other side" of school as a Service Learning student. Perhaps you are strapped for cash and need a part-time job or need to start applying for scholarships. I can help you with all of this and more! Stop in the counseling office to check out how I can make your future planning easier!
