College & Career Corner
The college & career corner, located in the guidance office, houses three student computers. Students may do career explorations, college searches, and scholarship searches. Students may also use online resources to practice for the GHSGT, EOCT, and CRCT. Catalogs from colleges and tech schools are available for review or checkout. ACT and SAT registration and review materials are also located in this area. Please keep in mind all colleges and universities in the state of Georgia will accept either test. The goal for taking these college entrance tests is to make an acceptable score for entrance to the college/university of your choice. There are numerous publications concerning careers, success in college, financial aid, etc. in the career corner for students to use. Scholarship information is available periodically throughout the year.
