Is it essential that they know? No. Is it essential that they are thinking about it? Yes. The web is a great resource for care6r and personality information. Look at virginiaview.com, petersons.com, collegeboard.com, humanmetrics. com, and princetonreview.com. Talk to people about their school experience and career choices. Again, visit schools. Most schools offer tours and informational meetings at no cost. Many have “open houses.” In two hours they’ll cover everything from the meal plan to programs of study to athletics. In the fall, look for college fairs and college nights. We are not large enough to house them at the high school, but Fauquier, Culpeper and Winchester will have them. Admissions directors from every college in Virginia and many from the surrounding states will be there.

How do I find out about college fairs, college visits, and scholarship deadlines?

A great resource is Mr. Gochenour’s monthly newsletter on-line at www.rappahannock.kl2.va.us. Click on “High School,” and then on “Guidance.” He lists scholarship deadline information, college links, testing information and more.
