Every EGUSD high school has a career center that is staffed with trained and professional counselors and staff who are experts at guiding students towards college and careers.  High school career centers assist students and parents in making plans during and after high school.  The career center contains academic, career and personal/social information to assist students with their individual plans.

Tools in the Career Center

Each career center is equipped with computers to search the Internet for financial aid, college and scholarship information, occupational tools, study skills, job searches, college entrance testing resources and dates, apprenticeships, military resources, and any basic/thinking skills or personal qualities needed to be successful in the 21^st century workplace.
• Reference Library. Each career center is equipped with a reference library, categorized with reference books on college information, testing information, occupational information, and personal information. Some career centers have brochures, videos and CD’s.  (Videos and CDs are available at some schools.)
