College & Career Planning

College & Career Planning

As senior high students begin their journey through their final four years of school, the counseling team intensifies their guidance in helping students determine "what they want to be when they grow up." Beyond traditional one-on-one conversations and counseling, much of this planning is done through Naviance, a technology platform that helps students determine their strengths and interests and align those with their postsecondary plans, whether it be college, career or service. Students can also use Naviance to search colleges and trade schools, view upcoming college representative visits, research scholarship opportunities and track their submission of college applications. Naviance is accessible to both students and their parents when students use their Exeter credentials as their log in and password.
