The CCC is an inviting and welcoming environment offering quiet reading and introspection, or availing a friendly exchange of facts and opinions.  Or it can be a private experience:  explore education and career options without anyone saying it isn’t feasible, reasonable or acceptable.

The College and Career Center, located in the Counseling Office, is open daily between 8:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., and welcomes all students and parents.  Students may come in before or after school, during lunch, or during class by appointment and with a pass from the instructor.  Parents are welcome at all times.  It is suggested that an appointment be made to reserve time on the computer.  Often, the student will prearrange a pass from the instructor in order to meet with their parent in the CCC.  Whether working together or separately, using the resources available can be of great benefit.

The CCC offers hundreds of catalogs and brochures that have been provided by colleges and universities.  These supply detailed admission and curricular data.  More than 150 videotapes offer campus tours, introductions to various trade and design schools, military academies and colleges.  Reference books, guides, and catalogs have been purchased to augment the sources of information available.  Some of the topics covered include selection of schools, composition of essays and application for financial aide.

We, at Green Valley High School, are privileged to have the Nevada Career Information System (CIS) computer program.  Interested individuals need only make an advance appointment to access this tool for discovery of personal preferences and future goals.  Further, occupations are described, education and training requirements listed, and appropriate schools suggested.
 

These on-campus visits are enormously informative and, just as importantly, fuel the enthusiasm of the attendees.  Also, for information about up-coming college visits, you can get the who, when, and where by calling 799-0950, ext. 4049.
 

The College and Career Center welcomes and well-serves parents’ usage without the presence of the student.  Your independent knowledge of tuition, enrollment requirements and student supervision may provide a starting point from which to begin discussions.  Your personal values, needs, and restrictions may eliminate certain schools, but research allows you to formulate an even longer list of alternative campuses that you can enthusiastically endorse.
