Mission Statement: The McLean High School College/Career Center is a vibrant resource for students, faculty and staff, parents and the community. The Center provides information associated with post secondary planning: two and four year colleges, vocational and technical schools, apprenticeship programs, civilian and military careers, scholarships and financial aid, job and summer opportunities. All students, regardless of their background, academic achievement, or economic situation, are given the opportunity to develop plans for the future that take into account their interests and abilities, current trends in education, the economy and the job market.

JUNIOR GIRLS AND BOYS: The American Legion Girls and Boys State will take place 6/21-27 at Liberty and Longwood Universities respectively.  Students must be U.S. citizens and have an interest in government. Both programs offer training in the positive processes of self-government and good citizenship as practiced in a democratic society.  "Citizens" are divided into political parties (they do not reflect the two major political parties in today's system of government).  Elections are held to fill city and state positions.  Activities include legislative sessions, campaigning, party rallies, debating and voting.  Extra curricular activities are also available.  Delegates learn by doing. Applications are available in the College Career Center and must be picked up by 3/13.

 

Sophomore and Junior Parents - The Colleges That Change Lives Program "It's the Journey, Not the Destination: Finding the Right Fit" has been rescheduled for Tuesday evening, March 17 at 7:30 pm in the Auditorium. Please join McLean High School in welcoming Marty O'Connell, executive director of Colleges That Change Lives, in a lively presentation about managing the college search and admission process.
