Class of 2026 Summer Workshop Series
The College and Career Center is open during the school year and throughout the summer. During the school year, students and their parents can meet with Mrs. Kessler before school, during lunch, or after school to discuss the college application process, testing, jobs, financial aid, scholarships, summer programs, or other college and career-related topics. Students in 9th through 12th grade are encouraged to begin planning for life after high school by utilizing the MCPS Four Year Plan. Each student is on their own journey and our job is to help students discover and prepare for their unique life, education, and career path - from early childhood to adulthood.
