The Role of the School Counselor
The Concord High School counselors are here to assist students in achieving success in all aspects of their lives. We encourage students to come in to ask questions, seek information, and get to know the counselors. We are here to provide individual guidance on academic, personal, extracurricular, and post-secondary options. Each counselor serves an equal portion of the high school with the division based upon the first letter of the student's last name.
The counseling offices are located in the main office. Counseling office hours are: 7:45am-3:15pm on regular school days.

College and Career Center News
The November 30 deadline has now passed for seniors applying to UCs or CSUs, but there still may be extended deadlines for less impacted CSU campuses. Students can check with campus to see if applications are still being accepted. Seniors may also want to consider applying to colleges with rolling admissions.
Seniors applying to Common App schools will need to complete tasks in Naviance in order to have documents processed. Students should refer to their Senior Overview Calendar and College Application FAQ’s for more information. Both documents can be found on the College & Career webpage under senior quick link.
If your senior applied to colleges this fall, make sure they are following through by setting up their portal accounts with each college they applied to. It is the student’s responsibility to make sure they are meeting deadlines and communicating with colleges when information is requested.
Families of seniors need to submit FAFSA or Dream Act Application as soon as possible. This includes students attending DVC or LMC in the fall. This task must be done in order to qualify for the free tuition program offered by our local community colleges. Deadline for FAFSA/CADAA is March 2, 2020.
Take advantage of the winter break and visit some of the colleges your student is interested in applying to. This is a great time to have them step on campus and experience the environment. Contact the campus to find out availability of campus tours.
