College/Career Guidance

College and Career Planning at SPCS occurs throughout the student’s high school academic career, with a specific focus during the student's junior year with a course entitled College/Career Planning and Life Skills.​
With the assistance of our instructors, guidance counselor and administration, we seek to provide opportunities for students to:
​
​
  • Set individual goals (spiritual, academic, athletic, etc.)
​
  • Take interest inventories to identify strengths that may benefit them in future occupations
​
  • Record yearly grades, honors, extracurricular activities, community service, standardized test scores, etc.
​
  • Write a personal testimony / biography / life vision
​
  • Prepare and practice for the PSAT (Grades 8-11), SAT (offered on our campus to students in grades 11-12) and ACT and then take these tests to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding 
​
  • Research college entrance requirements, scholarships, etc. and submit applications for those of interest or for which the student qualifies
​
  • Visit college campuses for tours, information sessions, etc. in grades 11 and 12 [Please secure a College Visit Checklist from the guidance counselor prior to the campus visit to ensure the absence is excused, if it occurs within the time parameters of a typical school day]
​
  • Research skill sets, requirements for, demand for, salary and facts about particular occupations
​
  • View occupation applications, understand reference letters and contact information, practice occupational interviews, hear from various employers and college representatives concerning majors, job market projections, interview skills, etc.
​
  • Complete a college and career portfolio and project during their high school careers
