Welcome to the
Western Sierra Collegiate Academy College and Career Center.
As a new school
year begins, I have the privilege of opening a new college planning center for
students and parents of WSCA. Our services will include everything students
need for college application preparation, exploration and admission.
We will be offering
a series of workshops that focus on a variety of college application topics.
While the workshops are primarily for juniors and seniors, all students are
welcome to attend, and parents are always welcome to attend student workshops.
We will also be
offering a series of parent/student evening classes that outline all the
aspects of college admission from preparation to application to funding. These
classes will be open to parents (and students) in all grade levels.
This fall, I will
be available to meet with students individually, or with their families, to
provide personal attention to individual college admission questions. Students
are invited to schedule an appointment. If we have enough interest, we will coordinate
college visits and tours within our region.
We will launch the
WSCA College & Career Center the week before school starts. Please drop by,
introduce yourself, and check us out. I am eager to meet students in any grade
level and I am a firm believer that it is never too early to begin planning for
college, so please bring the siblings along to get acquainted.
It always takes
students a few weeks to get into the school routine after relaxing all summer.
But for college bound seniors, there is no time to waste. Many colleges across
the nation are already accepting applications for Fall 2014. Here in California
our public universities will open application windows in October and November
and most of our private schools are within that same time frame.
WSCA seniors may
find it challenging that before they even begin to settle in to their final
year of high school they are asked to imagine themselves as college freshmen.
But to be an outstanding college applicant, that’s exactly what must happen.
Time is running out for seniors to decide where they will apply.
So please stop by!
We are located just off the main reception area of the administration building.
I’m excited to meet everyone!

Director WSCA College & Career Center
