Where Will Your Road Take You
We are thrilled to begin another exciting year and to support every student in their journey to growth and success. Through our C3 College, Career, and Counseling Department, we encourage all students to Dare To Grow because your future knows no boundaries.
We are excited to share that our students have already started more than 200 college applications to schools across the country! You can view the interactive map here to see where students are applying: C3 College Application Map.
This information comes from Naviance, which students can access through ClassLink. Parents can also access their student’s information using their Naviance username and password.
If students or families need support accessing Naviance, please reach out to your student’s counselor for assistance.
C3 also has a number of upcoming workshops and post-secondary events to support your planning:
Senior Early Decision/Early Action Virtual Night – Tuesday, September 2nd (more information to follow the first days of school)
We encourage all students to take advantage of these opportunities, explore possibilities, and reach goals beyond what they thought possible.
Together, let’s make this a year of growth, exploration, and success.
