Guidance
Over 90% of BCS students attend a 2- or 4-year university after graduation and are equipped with the skills needed to succeed in college, trade school, or the career path of their choosing. Our goal is that each of our seniors move forward with the guidance and confidence they need to take the next step into their future college and career path. Throughout high school, students will continue to meet with their guidance counselor and discuss the colleges that will help them reach their career goals. We encourage students to ask questions and research their interests in careers and colleges so that we can assist them in finding the right fit for their post-high school experience.
