The CCC Corner
The purpose of the CCC is to assist you, and all students, in the process of planning your initial years beyond high school. Our goal is that each student leaves Roosevelt with a plan to pursue a post-secondary program that can lead to a dignifying, life-sustaining career. For many students, that means going to college and getting a degree! But, when we say "post-secondary program," we mean college, and much more!
Becoming an apprentice; enlisting in the military; going straight to work; or taking a gap year -- each path can be a path towards the life and life-style you want to lead, provided you take the initial steps to come up with a plan. And we are here to help!
Whether you're a senior, junior, sophomore, or freshman, our hope is that you can use this CCC Site and the services offered by your CCC Coordinators to begin thinking about who you are, what drives you, and how it all fits together to craft a vision for your life! Take some time to explore the advising tools in this section, or navigate the website
