College & Career Readiness
Helping students prepare and plan for life after high school is a major component of what we do as counselors at CCHS. We not only want our students to have a successful high school experience, but we hope to help them plan for future success in college, in their career, and ultimately, in life.
In the Student Center we coordinate and conduct both group and individual meetings called "Plan for College & Career Readiness" or "Plan CCR". It is our goal to meet with every student at least once per year. We highly encourage parents to attend their student's assigned CCR meeting.

Current CCR Meetings
Senior - This year, 12th grade CCR's are conducted in the senior english classes where all seniors were able to participate in a general session of information then three breakout groups. In the general sessions counselors discussed important information including: NCAA requirements, scholarship and financial aid help, senior timeline, and college admissions planning, just to name a few. The students met with the counselors in a group setting then the seniors broke off into the following break outs:
1. Individual Meeting with the students counselor.
2. Group Meeting with the scholarship coordinator.
3. Group Meeting with the CTE Coordinator.
Counselors will continue the discussion with seniors during the individual appointment, addressing specific needs and to finalize post-high school plans.

Junior - 11th grade CCR's are conducted by counselors beginning in October. Counselors meet individually with juniors and their parents to continue discussions and plans regarding their current courses and post-high school options. Students are encouraged to plan for classes they will take in 12th grade that will help them not only graduate but further their post-high school plans. Counselors emphasize and offer expertise in matching class selection with their career interests. Progress made towards graduation is also discussed. Below is a copy of the handout for the Junior CCR.
Sophomore - 10th grade CCR's are conducted by counselors in February through language arts classes. Similar to 9th grade CCR's, students meet in a group setting with counselors who review graduation requirements, high school class options, college credits, scholarship information, and much more. Students are encouraged to plan for classes they will take 11th-12th grade and match their elective course selections with their career interests. Included in the Sophomore CCR, Sophomores are taught how to create their four year plan in the skyward system.
