The Career Center provides students with information to help them explore educational and career options, make realistic career decisions, and establish career goals. *From Career Resource Center Brochure, Fairfax County Public Schools. When to visit the Career Center? All students are free to stop at lunch, and before or after school. Visits during class time require a signed planner or pass from teacher. Parents are welcome, too! Parents are encouraged to visit the Career Center. Please call ahead to schedule an appointment to insure we can best serve you, as the Career Center is periodically closed for classes or meetings.
