Post-graduate Planning

High school goal setting and post-graduate planning are critical components of the school counseling program. The School Counseling Department collaborates with all students and families to guide students toward individualized post-secondary paths, including: 

  • Higher education
  • Armed Services 
  • Gap years
  • Internships
  • Workforce

From college admissions testing — such as the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT), Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), and American College Testing (ACT) — to the Advanced Placement program sponsored by the College Board, the counseling department provides students with the information needed to implement a college testing plan tailored for them. 

The department also administers the Armed Services Vocational Battery Assessment (ASVAB) to interested students twice a year.

Each year, the department hosts college admissions officers and military representatives who meet with prospective students in small groups. 

Counselors deliver post-secondary planning, college application workshops, and financial aid education and scholarship opportunities to students and families.  

Scituate also sponsors a yearly US Military Showcase with officials representing military branches, service academies, ROTC, etc.

Event dates are published on the SHS Sailors Calendar.

Students can access a college & career planning platform to support post-secondary and vocational education. 

The Counseling Department provides comprehensive information and resources to support families and students seeking post-secondary education.
