NAVIANCE Student is an online tool that helps students explore college and career options. Juniors and seniors can research colleges and compare their GPA, SAT scores, and other stats to past WHS data. All students can build a résumé, take career interest surveys, view college rep visit schedules, and more.

This resource complements the individual counseling sessions, presentations, and seminars we provide throughout high school.
