High school students are preparing for transition into adulthood and the
world of work. Students are faced with many tough decisions: Who am I?
What do I do well? What will I do when I graduate? School counselors assist
students in evaluating their strengths, skills, and abilities in order to choose
an appropriate career path. Counselors provide information on post-
secondary options (Four-year and two-year colleges and
vocational/technical schools) as well as financial aid and scholarships.
