The Career Resource Center (CRC) is a place where ALL students can find information on occupations as well as post-secondary options, scholarships and college visits. Students are encouraged to use the information early on and continue throughout their high school experience. The task of making career and educational choices can often be made less difficult by taking advantage of the resources found here.
