A NOTE FROM THE SCHOOL COUNSELING DEPARTMENT

These agencies are private, profit-making businesses. We provide their names for your information and convenience, but do not endorse one prep course above any other. You may find other names in the yellow pages, online or perhaps by recommendation from friends. There is considerable disagreement about the benefits of prep courses, and certainly it is not a necessity to take one. The best preparation for college placement tests is a student's lifelong learning, course work and reading background. However, because we are asked every year, we do provide this list of prep courses as a "starting point" for those who are interested.

Military Opportunities

Check out www.todaysmilitary.com for further information regarding positions available in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corp., and Coast Guard, as well as their respective Reserve Corps. and National Guard formations.

Additionally, the military can provide additional training through the Reserve Officer Training Corps. (ROTC) as well as Service Academies and Military Colleges.

The ROTC is a program offered by the Army, Navy/Marine Corp., and Air Force throughout our nation's colleges that allows a student to have college paid for by promising to fulfill a term of duty after college ends. ROTC's are available in over 1,000 colleges and universities throughout the country, and provide students with an excellent post-high school option.
