Parents & Students

  • Have questions about high school or life after school?
  • How to begin?
  • Who do I talk to?
  • What should we do?
  • What classes should I take in high school?
  • Where do I look for scholarships?
  • When do I take the ACT?
  • What about Financial Aid?

    • Your questions can be answered at the College & Career 101!

    The College & Career 101 resource fair will include recruiters from local & regional universities and colleges, community colleges, vocational schools, trade schools, career colleges, military, TPS high school options, Ask the Counselor, ACT information, Scholarship information, and Financial Aid & FAFSA information.
