The Naviance Program

The counseling departments at the high schools use Naviance to assist the students with career and post-high school planning as well as a means of communication with parents and students. Naviance is an all-encompassing program that enables students to search for career/college information, conduct interest inventories, register for events, request documents, and communicate with their counselor. Since counselors frequently email information through Naviance to both students and parents. Messages may include information about vocational programs, after-school events, volunteering, college visits, deadlines, meetings, scholarships, uploaded documents, surveys, pathways, etc.

To help ensure college-readiness and facilitate the college application process, it is essential that students maintain regular communication with their guidance counselor, via email or by signing up for a meeting, to ask any questions they might have.
