Successful Futures Start Here!

The El Molino College and Career Center is located in the library and is a resource center for all students. I help students find the information and tools to make informed choices about career and college options. The center provides a wealth of material and resources for students and their parents to utilize in researching their post-graduate plans. The center should become the focal point of your planning activities whether bound for college, vocational school, an apprenticeship program, the military or directly into the work force.

I provide a wide variety of information to students and parents. Reference materials, websites, college information, professional/technical schools information, career advisement, testing, financial aid and scholarship information, and the list goes on! It’s all for free and I hope you take advantage of this wonderful service!

Students are always welcome to visit with me during the day. Parents are encouraged to make appointments to come in and visit and ask questions. The process of getting from high school to the “outside world” can be a little daunting but I am here to help make the transition just a little easier! Please let me know how I can help.
