College/Career Center Resources
College and Career Center (CCC)- Helping with plans after Fairview
The College/Career Center is a multi-purpose meeting/presentation room and computer lab, located next to the Counseling Office. It is a resource where all students can research information about college and career planning, find out about activities they can be pursuing in high school, or listen to a variety of presentations from counselors and college/career representatives.
Over the course of the school year, over 200 colleges representatives come to the College/Career Center to give presentations to our students. Other representatives come from organizations that offer summer programs, “gap year” experiences, military recruitment, and volunteer opportunities. To learn more about these visits and see the calendar, click College Rep Visits.
