Freda Lucas, Guidance Counselor
Preparing
students for college is an essential part of the mission
of Calvary Christian School. We seriously consider the
need for God’s wisdom in working with students as they
plan for the future. Our school works individually with each
student and their family to help them understand the realities
of college admission, develop a list of appropriate options,
and work through the admissions process.
CCS
helps students to prepare for college by offering PSAT testing
to all 10th and 11th graders. In addition, PLAN testing is
offered to all 10th graders. The guidance office dispenses
college financial aid information, provides contact with
college representatives, gives information on various programs
of interest, and helps guide students toward a successful college
acceptance. Students can obtain assistance with their high
school resumes, college and scholarship applications, recommendations,
and more.
For more information, call or email our Guidance Counselor,
Freda Lucas , ext 208.
