College Counseling

HFCR also offers a comprehensive college and career planning curriculum that lays its foundation in the earlier years of high school and annually builds upon the knowledge and skills acquired during that time.

In College Readiness 101 (9th grade) and 201 (10th grade) scholars begin career and college exploration - linking learning abilities, values, goals, personal interests, strengths and weaknesses to the research of future careers and how that connects to choosing the right college and academic major. They will also explore positive study habits, work ethic and organizational skills to become successful students and future employees.

College Counseling Seminar 301 (11th grade) is a task-oriented course that focuses on deepening scholar understanding of the college application process and producing the items associated with it, exploring potential college options based upon high school academic profile and identifying different methods of financing a college education. Juniors will create a resume, write a college essay and take both the SAT and ACT in order to progress successfully.

College Counseling Seminar 401 (12th grade) is a graduation requirement course that offers a hands-on environment directly correlated to the tasks of the college search and selection process, including applications for admission and scholarships, standardized test preparation, financial aid and decision making, as well as expectations for college life and beyond.

In keeping with the “to and through college” model, HFCR also continues to offer support and guidance in the form of alumni advising from our amazing Alumni Success Coordinator.
