College & Career Exploration at the Middle School Level

Why Middle School Matters

Although there are many years before students have to make a career choice, it’s never too early to start looking for the clues that will lead your child to a possible future career!  Our goal as school counselors is to help students acquire knowledge and skills to make informed decisions and progress successfully. We aim to increase student exposure to postsecondary options and planning through class presentation and school-wide activities throughout the year.
