College Guidance

The College and Careers Center has many resources to help your students explore college options.  We have guide books to colleges and on college majors.   Many colleges visit our campus throughout the year and meet with students.  We promote local College Fairs and the preview days and presentations offered by many campuses.  Class sessions on preparing for college take place in Junior and Senior English classes.  Seniors can book individual college application sessions with our staff during the first semester, and Juniors can book individual college preparation sessions during the second semester.  Please contact Louise Gill, College and Careers Center Technician at louise_gill@sjusd.org to make an appointment for these sessions.

The internet is an invaluable source of information for students and parents throughout the college exploration and application process.  The following sites will help with the college search.  Many include links to web sites for individual colleges, virtual campus tours, application criteria, application forms, and financial aid information.
