In addition to meeting with your
counselor for academic, vocational and personal advisement, there are a
variety of other activities throughout the school year, which help
students become aware of educational opportunities that enable them to
make realistic post-graduation plans.
For example, each fall the
assistant principal offers four evening parent meetings for each grade
level to discuss grade-appropriate items as well as school-wide
topics. Evening meetings are also scheduled on campus for assistance
in completing college applications and financial aid forms.
The Career Center, facilitated by the ROP counselor, has information
regarding ROP (tech prep classes), college/trade/technical/military
possibilities and tutoring. Representatives from colleges conduct
small seminars throughout the year regarding admissions and special
programs available at each campus. The work experience program
includes resume writing, interviewing techniques, application
completion, etc. Students are encouraged to use the Internet for
self-assessment tools, occupational and educational links, financial
aid and much more!
Cabrillo College hosts College / Career Night in November each year for
high school students to collect information and meet representatives
from more than 70 CSU, UC, private and out-of-state colleges, art and
music schools, technical and trade schools, military, etc. Financial
aid information is also made available in two evening presentations.
We are fortunate to have resources such as concurrent enrollment
opportunities through Adult Education, Cabrillo College and the
University of California, Santa Cruz, as well as numerous community
mental health agencies (Youth Services, Family Services, Barrios
Unidos, etc.) with which we closely work. Referrals to area community
agencies, counselors, therapists, etc. are available in the Counseling
Office.
