2026-27 SVHS College & Career Rep Visits to SVHS

Juniors & Seniors are invited to participate in college rep visits to SVHS to learn more about colleges and universities.  Representatives come to SVHS to talk about their schools and answer questions. Students must have permission from their teacher in order to attend.   

It is the responsibility of each student to make-up any work they may miss. Unless noted, these visits will take place in the College & Career Center, Room #2408.

Mr. Nalda also schedules local organizations, employers, and military branches who are looking to hire or offer opportunities to Seneca Valley students.  Many times, these visits will take place in the SVHS Cafeteria during lunch and students from all grades are welcome to stop by anytime to learn more.
