Career Resource Centers

A student's first step in their search for scholarships, grants and loans should be to visit the Career Resource Center (CRC) at their high school. The advisors have lots of great resources, advice and are there to assist students in what can seem like an overwhelming process.

ASD Portfolio (jobs, schools, scholarships)

The portfolio is a student's history of their high school career (grades 9 through 12) as they would like it told to employers, schools, or scholarship review committees. The portfolio can be worked on throughout high school and is submitted in the senior year to the high school's career resource advisor. At a minimum, it should include the materials listed in the packet. New information and documentation may be added to the portfolio at any time during your senior year.
