Tesoro High School opened its brand new College and Career Center on Thursday morning, providing Titan students and families with an abundance of resources to prepare for life after high school. The center is part of the CUSD partnership with College and Career Advantage, and is the fourth to be unveiled at CUSD high school campuses. San Clemente and San Juan Hills will open their centers later this year.
Students can access the center before, during and after school to benefit from a variety of services, including:
Searching for careers, and learning about internships and employment opportunities.
Planning their schedules to support their outside interests.
Learning about CCA after bell course offerings and CTE pathways that are available at Tesoro.
Accessing Futureology counselors to assist in college applications.
Receiving support in applying for financial aid and scholarships.
A dedicated career guidance specialist and Futureology counselor will be on site at the center to assist students and families. The room is equipped with flexible seating to accommodate groups and meetings of all sizes, and there is a private office for personal meetings.
