Counselors' Corner
A college representative will meet in-person, or virtually where indicated, at CCHS with any Sophomore, Junior or Senior student that is interested. A counselor is also present.
- A college rep is the person who reads the application for admission so a face-to-face meeting will serve the student well.
- The student must print a screenshot of the SCOIR registration and have their teacher sign it as their pass.
- A student needs to remember that they are representing CCHS at these meetings so come with some good questions and your best behavior.
- The visits will be listed each Friday for the following week and a complete list is available on SCOIR.
- CCHS students are required to wear a mask while meeting with a college representative.
