College Planning
Counselors will meet with students at least once a year to discuss schedules, which will lead to college planning discussions. However, to assist with the process, Fairmont has partnered with Naviance, an online system that provides students with comprehensive college and career planning. Naviance offers assessments and activities to connect student interests and strengths with college and career exploration. We also use Naviance with our college application and transcript process.
