Juniors

There is a lot you need to be thinking about too! This is the time you should be starting or continuing to college search. Click here for a timeline of what you should be doing your junior year in high school!

There are many websites out there to help you in your college searching. Below are just a few that we found easy to navigate and still contain helpful information.

1) The National Center for Education Statistics - College Navigator

2) The College Board - College Search - If you have an existing account from registering for the SAT test, you can log in and save your searches for further reference.

Already have an idea of what college or university you want to research? College representatives also come to CHS to visit you! Listen for announcements and sign up in the counseling office.
