College & Career

The counseling department, in keeping with the ASCA National Model, also helps LVCP students sort through potential college and career choices to ensure that students select a college experience that is best for them.  Additionally, LVCP counseling provides an introduction to career choices so that students will have a better idea of what they would like to do as they enter college, thus reducing the number of times they might change their major, a process which usually increases the number of college courses they will have to complete, resulting in an extended time in college. The college and career counseling plan at LVCP includes the following services:

 

 

-Career Days for 9-10th graders (4 days per year with 8 speakers each day)
