Career Resource Center

The Career Resource Center (CRC) allows students to research careers, post-secondary schools, summer programs, and the military through a variety of media resources. The CRC is located next to the Counseling Suite and is open to students during their study halls. Students may come to the CRC by getting a pass from their study hall teacher. The CRC is open all periods except when counselors have it scheduled for school counseling programming. Please see Mrs. Tortorella if you have any questions!

Information on Summer Enrichment programs offered by post-secondary schools is available in the Career Center located next to the Counseling Suite.
