College and Career Readiness
As mandated by state guidelines, GVSD school counselors provide direct services to all students which are intended to prepare them for adult life. This preparation begins at the elementary level with exposure to general vocational information. As students move through the grades, tasks are designed to help them explore their interests, learn about their strengths, and help them to envision potential careers. Student college/career readiness skills and experiences are tracked though a program called Naviance. When in high school, the collection of information in Naviance allows counselors and students to plan a course of study, explore vocational education opportunities, and support the process of applying to post-high school programs.
Resources for college and career planning are available on the high school counseling website.
